    Just sold my car this afternoon for 2000 euros and it got me thinking what would be the quickest way to double it or make more money with out major risk. Any ideas?? I don't want to gamble it or blow it on something stupid, chances are i'll never see this kind of money again in the current climate.

    Use a photocopier. It's risk free and limitless and totally totally illegal!

    I was thinking of a sure fire thing to buy and sell and make a bit of money out of, i'm not greedy and I don't mind if it takes a while as long as it's legal. And i'm not going to buy and sell cars, it took me six months to sell the last one and only got about half of what it was worth.:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Colour photocopier.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,279 ✭✭✭NuMarvel


    In that case, if you're very patient and don't mind a 50% return instead of a 100% return, how about this - http://www.anpost.ie/AnPost/MainContent/Personal+Customers/Money+Matters/National+Solidarity+Bond/?

    Buy BP shares. They are bound to bounce back either by an aggressive takeover (rumoured to be in the pipeline - no pun intended) or on their own if they survive the clean-up bill and get back into long term profit again for this year!

    if you aren't willing to take risks or break the law then you might as well buy a load of lotto tickets and hope for the best

    We finally have a winner.

    OP if you're money is in 20's, get it changed into 10's. Then you'll have twice as many monies.

    Yea but part of that will be covered to some extent by insurance - even a minor part.
    The costs of the whole mess will be forked out I presume over a number of years, not just in a couple of this year lump sums.

    The breakdown of profit and loss for the year then will reflect future capital gains, expenditure, losses, etc, so there will be some sort of profits on the spreadsheet breakdowns integrated with future estimate projections taken into the mix on said spreadsheets totals.

    They know they have to keep their happy shareholders too, no matter what.
    There might be no dividends this year but the hope of regaining them later with be taken into account too.

    Let Brian Cowen look after it for you for the next six months, I'm not going to say he'll double it, but I'm sure he'll make a bolix of that too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,016 ✭✭✭mad m


    As was suggested...Black/Red.......Its a risk, actually a big risk....put it on black and close your eyes....

    Make sure you have taxi fare home though...

    what's wrong with 2,000 euro?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,089 ✭✭✭ascanbe


    When you find a sure-fire, risk free way to double your money, you can then employ the same criteria using the 4000 euro, then using the 8000 euro and so on..
    Soon, you will be extremely wealthy.
