If you got $48,000 tomorrow, what would be the most efficient legal way to turn that into more money outside of the stock market? Let's say that we're okay with a fair amount of risk here.

A Certificate of Deposit is the safest way to make money off of such a windfall. The interest it earns depends on a few factors, but time is the most important -the longer that money is in the bank's hands, the more you'll get back.

This is essentially risk free though, right?

This is kind of play money in a sense, I'm fine for higher risk for potentially higher yields.

If you don't own property then that would be one option, the rent should pay the mortgage with a bit left over fir pocket money and so long as you are careful where you buy it will normally appreciate.

Obv 48k won't get much on its own, but its a good sized deposit and should get a cheap mortgage.

If you're not playing the stock market, commodities maybe or an ALtX or currency exchange?

Realistically your safest bet would be to invest in a balanced portfolio consisting of foreign and local currency and stocks as well as property. Easiest way to do this with limited funds is through unit trusts.

Take $500-$1,000 0f that and spend it on a consultation with an actual financial advisor, instead of asking for investment advice from a board that spends all day obsessing over lolcows.

Or spend it 50% on Bitcoin, 50% on Chris, and get back to us on which made it dissapear faster.

Straight into the bank account.

Also, using it to pay off any debt.

Use as much money as possible to pay off any high interest debt, especially from credit cards or auto loans. Put the rest in something like Vanguard if you're not interested in learning technical analysis and fundamental analysis. I'd avoid those online brokerage firms like Charles Schwab too.

Have you thought about starting a predatory loan shark company?
