I know of an investment that can give a 80% return on your investment in less than 10 months. http://www.geocities.com/mikeerv/index.htm

Double in less than two years here.

9 years. Divide your interest rate into 72, it will give you (roughly) how long it takes to double your money.

1+.08n = 2, or .08n – 1, so n = 1/.08 = 12.5 years with SIMPLE interest.
