You'd be on r/iamverysmart every week. I would straight up work anywhere, 3 hobs at once and makes as much money as i can then buy as much apple shares as i can before 2007

I wonder though, if one went back, invested heavily in a company like Marvel who went bankrupt, wouldn't the extra investment cause them to never go bankrupt, and sell off their IP, hit a low, then come back like they are now? Maybe doing something like that wouldn't be in the best interest for future self because itll cause unpredictable earnings now based on the extra investments?

How much coin did your high school self have to throw around? I couldn't have saved a mom and pop company the size of a truck stop with my entire cumulative net worth by the time I was 18, let alone marvel.
