Wtf are you invested in? Nothing gains like that unless it is ridiculously risky. If it's risky, you do not want to invest money that you will need in a year in it.

There’s literally no possible way. The best performing fund last year went up 6% and the top performing fund on a 3 year average went up 16% on average.

Liquidate your investments, pay your credit card debt.
