There are lots of loan offerings right here in Market Discussions. Be sure to pick the ones that aren't scams.

You could start trading items that you are familiar with from your mission running. Ammunition, cap boosters, mods. Buy up mission loot from other mission runners in your area, haul it to the next hub for a profit or learn reprocessing skills and start building stuff from the minerals you get from it etc.

You could donate it to me. Consider it a tax write-off.

Well, it's kind of a weird question. I mean, my instinct is to tell you to set up some buy orders of stuff (mission items?) and then turn around and sell them with large sell orders. At least you'd cashflow.

But it sounds like you have more money than you need, and you aren't doing anything with it. Unless rolling on a pile of isk and touching yourself is your thing, maybe you should look at some of the charities in game, and give what you don't want away.

To be clear: I'm firmly in the "roll around in a pile of isk" camp. But if you don't have expenses, or plans to expand your operation, or a sick, deep need for piles of money, go be cool with it.

As others have said...

Add value to the mission hub you use by selling items of use to others, ships, ammo, etc.

Or Speculate on Trit, Ores, Etc.. Look at price histories over say 6 months and try to find that sale item and hold em, til they are dear.

yeah i kind of like the idea of rolling round the floor ball deep in isk :)

seriously though i have totally ignored every other aspect of eve except for running mission's, i do have very good refine skills. i have about 2 billion in salvage just lying round scattered in various station's.

who or what is erotica 1?

if you've got that much salv around then start small with building rigs.

i suggest small & medium Armor Trimarks, small & medium CCC's, small & medium Ancillary Current Routers.

they have always made me good isk in the past and are always in high demand.

once thats done then expand into other production areas.

reprocess ur loot and build T1 mods that have no meta variants.

build the ammo that u can change over for faction ammo with ur LP.

This.
It's what I do.
If it doesn't float your boat then become a philanthropist

Edit: most of the above suggestions involve boring and unrewarding work to make ISK. Do what you enjoy, and give the rest to the poor

U can send part of them to me for months and get profit repay. Or anyone had high credit
The best way is send into market if you had high trading skills
Depends on you are a mission runner . u might had good standing .Thats basic for market trading.
I had got 20B profit from market trading.
Just try it

@OP: after all the trolling let me make you a serious offer. i am currently expanding my trade operations into some FW hubs. in the medium term, i will need another JF and since most of my isk is tied up, i can use your 5bil to speed up the process. the offer is as follows:

i offer you an open ended bond with a weekly interest of 1%, payed out on sundays (typically around 18:00 EVE), except on the first sunday after receiving the funds. i reserve the right to make partial repayments in 500m steps, the interest stays at 1% of the remaining debt. i offer no collateral other than my questionable reputation.

if we can agree on these terms, i expect to start repaying the debt after 6-8 weeks and probably be done by the end of the year, depending on how deep i decide to dive in myself.

I should buy an Ishtar.

Seems trustworthy. I'd go for this OP.

Erotica1 is a very odd take on the isk doubling scam in that she does actually pay out but has a seemingly simple yet actually quite tricky ruleset. She makes an absolute fortune from people that can't follow the rules and gives a portion of it back to the few who can. Personally i would advise you to stay away unless you are good at logic and working things out in advance. Many Eve celebrities hang out in her channel and she is known to give vast sums of isk to good causes around New Eden.
Some of the best times people have in EvE revolve around the 100th winner bonus rooms often ending with hundreds of people in the game channel and often live songs on Teamspeak.
One of the great things about EvE is all the little offshoot communities that spring up.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85
