So you want 1,000% profit margin in a year? I assume you don't want to commit crimes.

No day traders will ever say that's possible. Even wallstreetbets doesn't expect those returns.

Fundraising with a sap story is a possibility.

Otherwise, the only option I can see is entrepreneurship. $10k to buy some deepfryers or bbq and some food and get selling. Or $10 to get a website going to sell something.

This is exactly what these podcasters are doing: Taking $10k and using every trick in the hedge fund playbook to turn it into $1 million (or zero!). https://twitter.com/hardmoneypod?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctw...

Hedge fund "playbooks" are actually pretty safe sometimes.

If you have a hunch that's wrong, and you end up 10% down vs your colleagues, someone will give you a tap on the shoulder and have you escorted from the building. Potentially career ending.

Make a website with a 1000x1000 pixel grid and auction off each pixel in 24h time slots. Active owner of a pixel can set the color and link.

is this the next level after NFTs?

this was an old project back in the mid 2000's where a guy made a webite with a million pixels and sold each pixel at 1 dollar, it soldout
