2. You want "best", "fastest" and "no loss." Those don't go together. All investing entails risk.
3. It really depends on how quickly you need to generate a return and how quickly you will need the money. The safest fastest return would be t-bills (government bonds) or bonds, but these items traditionally under-perform, however, there is no risk in loosing the money you invest (unless it is a municipality bond in California or Florida). Also how liquid of an asset you need is important (how quickly it can be converted to cash), because t-bills and whatnot are not as liquid as a CD.
4. Pick a short term winner and use options.
5. Your potential profit is directly related to the amount of risk you take on. If you want "no loss" then put the money in a CD or money market fund or account and make 2-3% a year. If you want a serious profit in a short time, then do some research and find a stock with good prospects. You can win big or lose big. There's no way to make money investing without taking on risk.

7. Those don't come by often. In fact, i have never seen one of those come by. You can try GE. They are a blue chip company and their share price can really shoot up in the coming year...but no guarantees. Also WMT and MCD and AZO are pretty stable and those wont be going under anytime soon. You wont make a killing off of them, but you also wont lose all you cash, like in many other stocks. Try this site. They give top-notch recommendations on the best stocks to buy.
