While a 100x moonshot is doubtful with an index the NASDAQ 100 (QQQ) might be the most hopeful. While the NYSE has been more competitive for new listings lately over the last 20+ years many of the innovative companies have started out with the listing on the Nasdaq, and many have stayed there. The QQQ might capture some winners. Some might argue that a sector fund might be appropriate, but the moonshot could come from a sector that is unknown as of today.

Go long on out-of-the-money options on a volatile individual stock. For instance Tesla's stock recently went up 5x -- with sufficiently risky call options a few of the wild-eyed Tesla bulls probably were able to get 100x out of it. You can do it with a stock you expect to crash, too, by going long on put options instead.

Deep OTM options are the lotto ticket you are looking for. Beware though, much like regular lotto tickets, most will lose playing this game. Is it really worth it rather than just putting the money in your normal account? If that isn’t exciting enough for you, take a vacation with it. At least you’ll get some enjoyment out of it.

Short term puts on Tesla. I don't have the guts for it, but that's a good gamble.

Buy a low cost S&P 500, reinvest the dividends, and let it simmer for about 50 years.
I know it's not exciting, but that's the path to success.

If you're trying to gamble, and want to make volatile bets where you don't have any expected advantage (likely the opposite), options are the easy way to get the kind of leverage required for that. If you limit it to buying options (and selling to close should you win), it at least will only put the money you used to buy the option at risk.

My suggestion is you conduct this experiment inside your Roth IRA, so that if it works you won't have to give away 1/3 of the proceeds.

Interesting topic. Take a look at NK (nantkwest). It gets lumped in with the covid stocks. (Probably because it has a covid vax and therapeutic). It's main play is cancer. Specifically, pancreatic as of now. They worked with ex-senator Harry Reid (who claims to be in full remission) and are also working with Alex Trebek. Being a Jeopardy fan, I hope he also goes into full remmish. Just a thought. Could go to zero, could go to a 1000.

4% of your money severely under-performing due to gambling on moonshots will have worse results than putting your whole portfolio with Edward Jones.

My suggestion if you want to hit some moon shots: follow and scour the ARK invest website. They are one of the few managed funds that publish their holdings and are open about their research. They have multiple funds seeking all moon shots (innovation, growth, future). Watch for when they add a new company into their funds. Also look through their holdings and research individual companies and business plans. An example would be like a gene editing company fixing sickle cell anemia w crispr technology.

Also would recommend being a part of pre IPO stuff. It isn’t easy but that is where real money can happen. Equity in like neuralink right now might pop 1000x. Looking at its potential to unlock disease and human bandwidth and the top edge talent they have assembled.

Finding this stuff is not passive at all. Getting involved is hard. But I know retail investors that have. People assembling now $25M for SpaceX at $40B valuation.

These things make sense for younger investors. It’s not about losing 4% of net worth later after a long career. The Edward Jones comment only makes sense if you continue to rebalance into a completely losing situation year after year. Not a big deal if you plant a few $10000 seeds. It’s about getting a chance for financial freedom at 35.

I’d focus on deep dives and the math. Things don’t rocket ship unless when you look under the hood and there is explosive potential for disruption as well as effective evidence of actually making things and success in growth.

One more tip: buy and hold. When you buy ask yourself if you’re going to be likely happy owning this in ten years. “Trading” with options etc is a losers game. Because the house has too high a rake (capital gains). When you kill and make $200k in 2020 the US government doesn’t refund you when you lose $100k in 2021 (actually $3k ha).

Oh and 3X leverage... sssshhhh.

There is always junk bonds (aka "high yield bonds"). When(if?) they fail, you at least get a chance of a share or two in the new stock after bankruptcy. Some pay 100x+ yield.

I do a couple of these here and there looking for roulette-style payoffs of 35:1 or so. One I'm doing now is buying OTM options as mentioned above, specifically buying the Jan15 2021 $40 call options for RDS.B for roughly 25 cents each. Perhaps the death of fossil fuels has been greatly exaggerated, or the middle east gets tenuous, or people start to drive and fly again, or maybe it just gets cold this winter and the folks that still have houses would like to heat them. Either way it has been proven that the cure for low oil prices is low oil prices; if/when oil prices rebound these majors will gush tons of cash with all the cuts to their dividends, exploration, management, 401k plans, etc and their share prices will follow.

To hit your 100X payout, you'd need to buy these options at .20 each with no fees then have RDS.B hit $60 by Jan 15th. (please re-read the 'lottery ticket' quote above prior to spending that easy $$$)

As a bonus, you can take the next 9.5 years of the decade thought you needed for 100X return!

Options is the way to go. Don’t overthink it, just pick something that has started popping up in the headlines and try to pile in before everyone else with short to medium term calls - or, if you’re late to the party, puts. Have an exit plan set before entry so you don’t lose more than X% in one play.

You only need a compound annual growth of 58% to achieve 10 year return of 100x (ha ha, piece of cake right?). Sure... you could try to do it a lot faster with options... but taking your post at face value, I think a high-flying tech stock is the more viable path. You have to pick a good one though! Pick a software company with revenue < 1B. One such name is MongoDB, and I'm sure there are many others in a similar phase of their growth curve. (Take a look at the financials, it grew from $150 million in revenue in 2018 to $450 million in 2020. That's higher than 58%. But can they sustain that growth rate for 10 more years? Who knows what will happen... could keep growing, could slow down or reverse, or could get acquired by a bigger fish.)

Why not toy around with some OTC penny stocks?

I saw rumblings on Twitter about RLFTF a couple of weeks ago (Relief Therapeutics -- with a marginally promising COVID treatment) and nearly put in a but at $0.15 -- but the commission at Fidelity was $50, which was half of what I was looking to gamble. Anyway, it spiked to $0.80 or so and is now trading around $0.50.

I suspect that it being a foreign-listed OTC stock will keep it out of the Robin Hood universe, which may limit upside.

There are two ways to get a moonshot:

1) Buy an underlying asset that is highly volatile and will produce 100x return with non-negligible probability
2) Buy a derivative security that will produce 100x return with non-negligible probability

Quite a few things in category 1 have been mentioned and I don't have much to add. For 2, I've mostly only seen options mentioned. Futures can provide leverage of 20:1 so are definitely something to consider as well. Leveraged ETFs, which are quite similar, might also be a good choice.

Nobody has any idea how much Bitcoin "should" be worth... So it's pure sentiment. As long as inflation kicks in, Bitcoin can go up significantly with no upper bound...

SPCE, that is Virgin Galactic. Possibility of 100X price move, also possibility of real moonshot. I think that the real moonshot is more likely than 100X price gain.

You are trying to turn $40k into $4M over 10 years by gambling. If you have $1M of household income and a $2M net worth at age 40, I think you should first focus on getting your spending under control. That alone will help you increase your net worth by over $4M over the next ten years.

Tehran stock exchange or Venezuela stock exchange maybe. I’m not sure what inflation is like but that’d be my best bet for 100x increase in an index.

The QQQ might capture some winners. Some might argue that a sector fund might be appropriate, but the moonshot could come from a sector that is unknown as of today.
I'd make you a cash wager that the QQQ will be beat by small-value over the next decade, but I already put all my free :moneybag into that trade.

OP I would consider buying a basket of net-net micro-cap stocks if you can find any. Buying 10 of them may give you a shot at capturing a couple big ones, but 100x is all luck.

Yep, this is what I invest my play money in. I've seen some rocket 100x before. It's very difficult to find a winner, there are many to choose from and most will not ever advance to Phase II or beyond....but we're talking about lottery tickets here.

I have had some success with this play money. But nothing spectacular.

Question : If I am willing to lose this entire play money, but hoping for a lottery ticket of sorts that will net me a 100x return over the next decade, what are your suggestions ?
If we knew would we tell?
Sure, because more people doing it would make it a 1000X moonshot ;-) - that's what all the investment porn - excuse me, news - is about

I wish I know! When I worked for a pre-IPO company we had friends-and-family shares. You can go onto LinkedIn to see who you know works there (https://www.linkedin.com/company/palantir-technologies/). They have about 2,500 employees.
