So........you're going to take money you need for a down payment, and try to grow it in the stock market?
Do you have a plan B for when the companies you picked decline in price, or a crash comes along?
Put off buying the house?

>anything less than 50k

come back when you want legitimate investing advice and not penny stock tier trash like crypto.

What he means is come back to some other board, cause crypto and terrible stocks is what we do here.

>Actual investing advice

This. You should never long term invest, it's a horrible idea.

Watch Martin Shkreli's investing videos. He's a genius!

Fuck that, not me.
But you're right that that's what's mostly here.
So yeah, I wouldn't come here for advice.

It's not money I need. I'm set as far as debts and a few months living expenses. If it all of a sudden crashes and I lose it all overnight, I'll be fine. Pissed, but financially okay.

The short answer is no.
Although it depends on your definition of reasonably safe, most people say that to mean "not lose my capital".
Anything that will protect you against that kind of loss (like CD's) will, by definition, return very little.
With greater possibility of return comes greater risk, all the way from US Treasuries to Greek Bonds.

Diversify if you want safety. While the above posters discourage stocks/crypto, I'd recommend at least taking 1k to crypto to play around with.

Remaining 5k invest in government bonds, most return is 10% annually.

Anyways, whatever you decide, remember to diversify for safety (albeit less payout).

You have 6k and want 10k (at minimum, let's use this number).
That's a profit of $4k which is a 66% ROI.

Rule of 72 says that it would take you 6 years at 10% every year to get to 10,629:

6000 * 1.10 five times is 10629.366

A continuous 10% RoR is high risk and very unlikely.

If you don't have another means of income, I suggest using this to enhance your earning potential
