I've lost close to $100k in recent weeks trading market index, I've already entered into a contract to buy a piece of land in two weeks time and now I don't even have enough any money for a deposit, how do I make some serious money in two weeks and beyond? I'm 27 and pretty much bankrupt right now, that was all the money I had saved.

I'm not a natural sport superstar or famous entertainer, I'm willing to do anything else to make serious money as quickly as possible with minimal risk, does anyone have any advice? I'm up for anything, whether ethical or unethical, I am very desperate. I have no interest working in couple of part time jobs for $20 an hour for the next 20 years to save up. I need an idea that requires minimal capital, something to make it big... I live in Australia

I know I'm asking in the Israel section, but I very much respect Jewish people's business acumen.
Ok with great and controlled risk where possible
@hatmanone: I'm not trolling, I asked about the mentality between Chinese and Jewish people, because I'm Chinese myself, and the Jewish people I met in uni are extremely entrepreneurial. I have a deep respect for Jewish people. And to the other dude, the $100k was my life saving from working.

Answer
You have two options as far as i see it:

(if you need the money urgently in the next two weeks, your best bet is a bank or financial institution; tr asking for a loan, line of credit or other product that may help you get 100K quickly)

or, you can try starting or investing in a business, if you have stock market experience, try investing in some high yielding stocks, maybe Forex; i would recommend starting and running your own business, online businesses and neighborhood businesses really require very little capital; but a lot of hard work and dedication...

I have $10,000 that I don't wana touch4 4yrs, since I'm scared of my future, how can I make that grow?

Q. I'm 23 years old. I got a good amount of money from my grandma when I turned 21. I spent a little bit of it on stupid things and traveled (Israel is great, you all should visit). I went a way to college after high school, came home, **ucked around, and now I'm finally in spot in life where I am concentrating on school and should be done at the end of next year. Then I'll make $20+ an hour until space opens up in this 2yr program, that I'm interested in, and I'll be starting at 70-80k a year.
For this program there's a 2 year wait to get in to it and the program last 2 years. So in a nut shell I won't be making 70-80k a year for 5 more years! I work at a hilton and make $10 an hour working 20-30 hours a week while being in school. I basically put all that in my savings and use money I make from selling pills on the side as spending money (about $500+ a month on pills, some of that goes towards paying people to do my papers for school, food, and also my personal trainer. I live with my parents so they pay for most things I need, including gas and SOME of my credit card bill).

Anyways, I have money set aside for a trip to Spain for spring break which is going to be relatively cheap since I'm staying at a friends apartment (she's working in Spain for a year). I also plan to save up money from my job to live in Tell Aviv, Israel for a month and do community service at a hospital next summer.

Minus the money in my savings that I have set aside for traveling and a decent amount I allow myself to have in my debit I have 10,000 that I don't wana touch cuz I'm soooooooo scared of my future regarding finances. And hopefully after I'm done with school I'll be moving the hell out.

--------->Any good ideas as to where I should put it for like 4 years so it can grow? I'm thinking I'll need it in a few years while I won't be able to work in the like 2 year long program.

Answer
Hey ,

Well first of all , you gave a wide introduction which is nice :p btw yes , Israel is amazing :) especially tel aviv in the summer , cant wait to go back on the tayelet for some abulafia :P anyways , back to your question .

First of all , all that im giving you here are suggestions , what you do is on you .

I believe investing should be done with money that you dont really need or care about if its gone , that way your choice of investing will be all about the odds and not about your psyche .

So if thats the case then you have alot of options which can be investing in stocks , Forex , etc .

If the money is something you dont want to lose , just put it in a bank somewhere and let it rest until you will need it . and enjoy the 1-3 % interest .

You said Grow , but Grow depends on what your are willing to risk .


BTW , investing is only meant to do in stuff you know , if you dont know about stocks , etc dont touch it .

so be careful of that GROW , cause sometimes having those 10k in the bank , is the best solution .

Why is everyone so biased about the Israel/Palestine war?

I have read a lot of questions about this war on yahoo answers, and it seems to me that everyone has chosen a side and quite aggressively defends it.
But the point of this war is based on questions NO ONE really knows the answer to, which is why it continues.
Palestine was once occupied mainly by Muslim people, over time, more and more Jewish people entered it, mainly to find asylum away from persecution in Europe. This increase in Jewish population got to a point where they wanted independence from Palestine, and a vote from the UN decided the country would be divided. This did not sit well the Palestinians, who had been peacefully occupying the whole country for a long time before all this, and is what started the revolt. The Jewish claim that the land should actually all be rightfully theirs, based on historical religious documents, however the evidence is questionable, and is refuted by just as questionable opposing evidence. Years and years of debate between the 2 nations has escalated into deeply patriotic beliefs where the both sides believe passionately, and are willing to give their lives, that the country should rightfully be theirs.
Feel free to correct me where I am wrong, but I think if any of you do the research you can not irrefutably claim that one side is right and the other is wrong. I think we all agree both sides have used violence and people have sadly lost their lives.

If you make a claim in this section, I would like to see evidence that what you say is true, or at least somewhat accurate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Arab%E2%80%93Israeli_War
Like I said, both sides have questionable evidence for why the land should rightfully be theirs. I personally would like patriotism shot down, and for everyone on Earth to consider the whole world their country, and stop trying to own parts of it. Obviously that would come with it's own problems. But if you look at nations of individuals of people just like you and me, and stop generalising them to what country they live in, people everywhere are just trying to survive, raise families and live happy lives.
To the person who said the Jews had the country for 2000+ years (no evidence provided) and then the Palestines had control of it for 1500 years (also no evidence provided), and then that the Jews were reclaiming what is rightfully theirs. Does this apply to the rest of the world or only the Jews are allowed to do it? I live in Australia, should I leave the country with the whole 20 million other people because the Aboriginals want it back. Should the the 300 million Americans go look for somewhere else to "sqwat" since Indians were there before them? What happened in the past to get the land is not something we should be proud of, but in modern day why are there still people trying to forcefully take land.

Answer
Sadly that's how we are. Most of us feel we should fight for what we believe in. You see that in movies a lot. Unfortunately it inevitably comes to a point resulting into violence in real life. I don't think we've evolved enough to transcend this disastrous flaw in our nature. Human conflict of this magnitude has happened for thousands of years, and all it teaches us is that it ends up with one side dominating and the other yielding. The differences we possess are what define us and enrich us, and ironically, divide us from each other as well... a most powerful double edged sword. A simple albeit naive solution would be sharing, cohabitation.. but people inherently complicate everything. The tricky part making all parties satisfied. It can get as extreme as Forex trading .. no one can profit without someone else losing ..
