Are you willing to loose all $100k?
So far the best answer to my question seems to be flipping real estate, in which case losing 100% (or any) of the investment is highly improbable.

#62Buy an ETF called Robo which invests in robotics and AI companies and the ones building components. It has had 42% YTD returns. I have been invested in it for a while on the idea that robots are at a precipice of taking off and most people don’t seem to see it. See Bonston Dynamics work and getting acquired by SoftBank which makes Pepper. See OpenAI and the other AI progress being made. See self driving cars and Nvid…
Sounds interesting

#63If we had a valid answer to your question we would already be rich. There is no answer. Though, I'd look into bitcoin as a very risky investment today. Who knows? A bitcoin could be worth $20000 in 6 month. That's the only doable/crazy thing right now I could think of. 3-6 month is too short unless you go hard on day-trading and get super lucky trading futures, options, etc.
I think the error here is in thinking, well, inside the proverbial box. My question is serious an does have lots of valid answers.
For example, I did not say the answer had to be a passive investment. Flipping homes could do very well given one is willing to put in the effort.
I have a friend who decided to sell a product found in most homes in the US. He didn't even make it. Armed with a phone and a laptop he turned an initial investment of $50K into about three million dollars in approximately two years. He probably worked 16 hours a day, seven days a week. He is now in the process of selling the business for many millions.
It's interesting to see how many people are suggesting bitcoin.

#64Aggressive means ready to lose all, same as gambling. Be smart, read and learn about investing while you find the right one for you. In the meantime keep it in the bank. There's no easy money to be made. Good luck.
To me aggressive means lots of things, one of them being working your ass off in order to make it happen.
For example, I'd love to have a good SaaS product...I just can't seem to come up with ideas. OK, this would likely not double the investment in six months but maybe achieving that run rate in six months is possible with the right product?

#65Someone mentioned jumping into solar energy in some way. It looks like installations haven't slowed down at all.
Re: How would you invest $100K USD aggressively?
#66Another aspect of this question that hasn't been explored is that of scale. What I mean by this is that one can do things with $100K or more that are impossible to do with less capital. For example, buy four container loads of e-Bikes, solar panels, screwdrivers, socks or whatever and go sell them.
I think the error in some of the comments is in thinking conventionally and equating being aggressive with gambling.

#67Bitcoin. It's only a bubble after it bursts.
How do you convert back to hard currency at that scale (hundreds of thousands of dollars)?

I meant there’s no recipe for success, which doesn’t mean it’s not impossible. There’s nothing you can simply copy/paste. Though I agree, a lot of people do make millions daily/monthly/yearly, but you have to create your own path for that. Otherwise A LOT of people would be richer today.

#70Earlier quoted context omitted.
How do you mean? That's a rather trivial amount.
Well it's not fully liquid. Looking at the question more strictly, it could be put in $100k, get out $200k cash. The volume is not great. You'll lose quite a bit on exchanges. It's probably the same for stocks or real estate, but something like gold is much more liquid for a million dollars. Or gambling.
You really need to get into the tens of millions before you start having any sort of liquidity problems with Bitcoin.
