I find mining is quite profitable and you can couple that with manufactoring which I also make a lot of ISK doing.

In my experience, trading is most profitable, up to about 10-20 billion. After that, manufacturing brings in the best returns per hour spent. But once you have 100 billion, and are able to carry out large scale, well supported, amrket manipulations, I would imagine the advantage swings back to trade. Of course, combining trade and manufacturing provides some very nice synergies, so it might be best to say a combo of the two.

The next step up for what I have read in this year of my EvE life, is to keep a stash of money doing trading and manufacturing, while switching the rest over investments. It's the logic step and of course even riskier than trading. In fact besides Flakeys, Emmgel and some other names, I see an high rate of failure at going "beyond" the mere game mechanics and going in the meta-game universe. - Auditing and consulting

Well you can take over my position then VV since i am withdrawing from investments .Only have 1 investment left running on Md now and my ingame loans also are slowly ending and i am not handing new ones out.
I have done half a year of investments on MD for wich gave me over 10 bille in profits when i take my loss's from yih and dbank off.Probably next summer i will be back on Md for new investments as i have done the same last summer and the summer before both times for half a year.
I am doing trade myself again since the 1st of january.Not as much as i used to but using bigger volumes i can take it easy and only need about 15cminutes a day to spend on it.
For me investing is like pirating or pvp.I like it but allways tend to do the same length of it before i call it a day.
In short you'll see no more investments and a lot less whining/complaining/replying from me for a long time.Same as raw23 basically still hang out in the SCC and the occaisonal outburst on Md but that's it.I know for some this will come as a relief , in wich case i am glad to give you this service .

If your time costs nothing, then yes.
Otherwise, mining has a cost.

Definitely mining. It easily scales per pilot (as opposed to per person), and can be done virtually AFK. I figure a single miner could probably handle a hundred accounts or so....

Trading.
(Mining is way down at the bottom of the list, by the way.)

Mining is a horrible way to play a multiplayer game unless you are in a corp that does group ops. Even then you better enjoy sitting around doing nothing toghether.
I'd say PVE, missions are a good way to get a solid base income. Do a few, get a decent fit for your ship, train your pvp skills up. Then once you are riding on a bit of a wallet, say 500mil-750mil, train a few trade skills and get a feel for it. If you like it you can do it while running missions in some hubs, like dodixie. Say you like it alot and find a niche, train all the skills up you need to maximize profits and your standings with the agents in that area will reduce fees as well.
Not up for market crap and mission running? Sadly you will have to do PVE things at some point unless you wish to do market trading. Plexing is a far more exciting way to make ISK while PVE'ing. You don't have any guarantee of finding a signature worth your time, and when you do find one it might not yield anything. When it does though it's far more exciting than turning in a mission.
PVP in general is not always profitable, pirates can make alot from it, but pirates that always run unless ganking haulers are in my opinion, the most boring people in the game. PVP can be profitable if you are very patient, and are hunting plexers or missioners in low sec, or fighting people with expensive fits. However if you start to like PVP, you are gonna be hurting for ISK if that's all you do.
Personally, and this requires some starting capital, I've found reactions to be a amazing passive income source. Sure it's running a POS and that is painful, but I have 4 large towers and make about 4-4.5bil a month after fuel costs/market crashes. I would suggest starting with one medium POS and making simple reactions for a low risk investment, in fact you can usually find a moon that can make basic simple reactions in one POS. It can be a pain but it's an hour or so every week or two, and the profits are amazing. Even when a market crashes you still can pull a profit most of the time, just might be very reduced.
Good luck to you and be patient gaining ISK.

Scamming is.
And once you have the billions from scamming, you can do some really casual trading with it and turn a decent profit--without ever slaving over a hot market window.

I'm surprised half of those scams even work. They'd seem transparent to even an eight year old.

A good/expert station trader can easily make a bill a week trading normal items through the market screen. A good/expert contract trader can make way more than that. Doesn't take more than 10 hours a week in either case. And I'm not talking about scamming of any type. No one will show you exactly how to go about it though =p Because it's expertise that's hard won.

Start a bank. Run it for a while. Scam hundreds of billions out of it to turn into appx. $5000(us) equivilent in Australian dollars (IIRC).
I think that wins.....
For most though, probably Missioning though a GOOD trader can make a lot and some manufacturing folks with LOTS of lines running can sometimes make a lot.

While turning Banking ISK into Moonshine might sound like fun and worth a lot, it really isn't.
But you asked "What sees the most ISK?"
Being Chribba. Without a doubt I would bet Chibba has had more ISK and assets of value pass though his hands then anyone else in EVE. And that includes Ricdic's 8.6 Trillion ISK in deposits, that EBANK collected in deposits PRIOR to him scamming.

Buy raw ores - very cheap materials. Refine them considering you are a perfect refiner. Build ravens. Insure them. Undock. Blow them up.
Very, very good profit. Tried that once with a 10 run bs bpc only, but was quite amused how much money it can give. Ravens supposedly give biggest profit, but can't fly them.
In other words - insurance fraud.

Missions are easily the worst way to make ISK in the game. At least with mining, no input is really required, aside from moving cans about a bit occasionally, and you can do something useful in RL. But with missions, your entire online time is spent pressing buttons and warping about - and for what? A piddly ~100 mill for three hours' solid work? It's unskilled manual drudgery of the worst kind, the EVE equivalent of flipping burgers. Get a brian, morans!
All market income can be obtained while not just AFK, but offline. Just a few minutes fiddling with orders is required. Your valuable online time is saved for the fun side of Eve - blowing people's ships up and looting their wrecks.
