Curious to hear some of the board's more aggressive growth strategies. Obviously completely hypothetical, but let's say you were offered $100k and the only way you can accept it is if you map out a 5 year plan to turn it into $1M. Upon accepting you immediately must go about working this plan and 'go for broke' so to speak. You either make it to a million and get to keep it all, or fall short and have to return the $100k and anything you made. And if you lose the $100k because of the necessary risks you were taking to try to grow it, then no harm no foul, you just walk away.

You either make it to a $1M and keep it all, or fall short and walk away with nothing. What's your plan?

10x growth in 5 years is pretty hard.

I'd go to the casino, put it on black 3 times to get to 800k then hit the stock market.

The biggest problem with the market right now is the huge influx of people treating it like a casino. There’s no get rich quick scheme for 99.9% of Americans. Grow your money long term or just go buy a bunch of lotto tickets.

Use to lever up and buy a business to grow. Equity with some SBA debt, it’s doable with a lot of hard work and effort.

10x in five years is going require leverage and you’re going to need to build and/or grow a business significantly.

The best strategy for this game is to choose a single stock imo. The point is this type of investment will be an outlier; if you choose too many investments it will reduce risk and also reduce potential upside.

I’ll put the 100k of yours into Roku. Let’s reconvene in August 2025 and see if I get the million

Your best bet is crypto. Unless you make several once in a lifetime trades, stocks will never appreciate 10X in 5 years even in the best of markets.

I’d go $30k into BTC, $20k ETH, $10k LINK, $10k ADA, $5k XRP, $5k XLM, $20k mix of higher risk alts.

45k AUPH and 45k NAK. 10k to play calls on all the dips in silver and gold as the fed continues to kill the dollar.

50% per year would be Almost enough.

Might want to start a business.

Easy, 150 Jan 21 FDX 250 strike call options. Sell when Strike hits $306. That’s a mil by January.
