I realized that every time I search about making a quick million, someone comes with a logical but unrealistic idea of making a million dollars.

Post any way of making a million.

My idea: Buy 500k worth of pencils that cost a dollar and sell it for 3 dollars each

Name one person who will buy a single pencil for 3 dollars. Bad investment.

Open up 500 credit card

Points)

Open up 500 credit card accounts with a credit limit of $10,000 each. Purchase 1 month US T-Bills. You will have just under 2 months to pay back your credit cards, and so long as you pay within the 2 months, its interest free. On top of that, you will get points awarded for all the volume you are using.

Profit off the yield from the T-Bills, the ability to borrow money interest free for 2 months, and the awards you get from the credit card companies.

Start a SPAC (special purpose acquisition company), issue bonds, buy credit default swaps against the bonds, have your SPAC file for bankruptcy, and you will be a multimillionaire very quick.

That is a fairly common finance quote with various inserts (i.e. Become a billionaire, then buy a movie studio. Become a billionaire, then buy a newspaper company, etc.)

This thread is stupid because you should qualify the discussion as you either start with a certain amount of capital (it costs money to make money) or you are starting with zero.

BSbanker, its not like any random person can sign up for a SPAC
