How would you turn $1million into $2million in a year?

[Mouse droidz 21]

Profit, buy a bunch of stuff and sell it at a higher price than it's original price and make profit
make a game, film, product, etc

Give the 1 million to me and all is well. 

[Frankie²]

getting a 100% return on an investment in a year is highly improbable if not impossible

If anyone has any money they'd like to double, don't hesitate to send it to me.

if your desired timeframe for growth is one year, the higher the yield that you want, the more risk is generally associated with investment. An investment portfolio of like 3/4 stocks and 1/4 bonds is going to grow like 6-8% on average. assuming you invest all of the 1 mil, you're not going to get a 100% annual yield without taking incredibly substantial risk. You'd most likely lose all your money.

A CD wouldn't give nearly so much. Literally the only option that could possibly provide that yield is to invest everything in stocks and get REALLY lucky.

i'd probably gamble half of it and put the other half in the stock market, assuming i would be of age to do so in that time

Buy film equipment, & hire research stars & get to filming. Good money in the research industry.

Short term, high interest, predatory loans secured by personal property and threats of violence.
Fund a crooked politician's election campaign in exchange for business to my own little corporation which would provide minimal service at high expense to the taxpayer.
Fund a coup in a developing nation (probably requires other investors as well), then exploit the local people and resources.
Ponzi scheme.
Land contracts, get half payment up front, file for bankruptcy, leave town, new alias, repeat.
Form a mercenary group to fight alongside the Assad government, loot massive quantities of weapons and oil, leave.

None of these are, of course, particularly ethical mans of doubling your capital, but I doubt that there's much you can ethically do to meet the goal in just a year.

Yeah this is the obvious choice. I'd probably even hire an professional investor to do it for me.

The way to 'win' the stock market is to invest in a wide variety of stable, appreciating stocks. If you actually invest in something risky enough to make you $2million in a year, then you're gonna lose your money pretty damn quick.
