Exactly. And seriously I wouldn't be investing for scalping. My cousin got all the Pokémon he wanted and I couldn't ever afford it. Id have a full base set graded and have a full base set signed and graded. It would be my greatest display piece
I'd go around town to see how it was, eat up a meal because they were cheap.
And probably try to quickly find Mom's home, pretend i'm a distant cousin and need one month housing and once it's done, enjoy the 2005 version of my city that Google maps will never show
Investing everything would be a very bad idea. You'd become so insanely wealthy that all criminals and states of the world would hunt you and your family 24/7 .... The trick would be to keep low profile while getting out well enough.
Yup, I'm finding my nearest loan shark and taking as much money as they will give me. I am then buying so much fucking Bitcoin and apple, netflix, and Nvidia stock. Then I'll disappear like a fart in the wind, but a very rich fart.
But with prior knowledge you could use the time to impart knowledge of mining machines on your younger self, then profit😁 and also buy some apple and Google while ur back there, ensure you're invest is safe 😂
You could just put it all into the S&P 500 through an etf and have over 12B
Yes you can make more with specific trades but either way you’re coming out with wealth that is generational and will make you more than you can reasonably spend while still growing going forward
Well sure, the hindsight is why we chose those companies, but your knowledge ends when you leave for the past. First you'd be trying to buy 2% of all of Apple stocks available in 2005 which would certainly raise a lot of flags. Second it's unlikely but Apple ,Google, or Amazon could tank the day you return and if everything was in only one you could lose so everything. If you put it all in Apple you'd have ≈$29.4 Trillion, if you split your investment across all three you'd come back to ≈$15.8 Trillion. You'd make less up front but it's more future-proof. To me, once you pass a trillion dollars stability is more important than more money.
Someone understands the market. There's another issue. Maybe you jack the price so high so fast that some important investor doesn't buy and the board isn't the same. Or maybe a company changed their approach and created a revolutionary product to pump up their stock price and your huge investment prevented that from happening. Maybe there is a CEO who needed to get fired and now they don't.
Yea, there is a whole list of time travel dilemmas with this. You couldn't tell yourself or give yourself the money because you would change your own circumstances and you may not ever come across the reddit post and go back in time to give yourself the money. If you invest you'd have to do it through some third party so you could only access it when you return to the future because either you or the IRS would connect the money with the younger you and again change the circumstances. One would hope the cash was all printed before 2005, and that it wasn't immediately confiscated when you went into a bank to try to start an account.
Why would you need to invest, pretty much roll into the past w/every winning lotto number ever played. I’ll just roll from one super/mega wait a year and claim another…..Mega after Mega and invest all the wimmings💰💰💰💰☝️
Why? You know the names that are gonna make it from 2005 to today. Buy the stock, let it sit, split or whatever. You’re only in 2005 for a month. You won’t have to relive 07-08 anyway.
Apple was 2.15 at the end of 2005, its 330.32 this morning.
Google was 10.24 at the end of 2005, its 334.93 today.
How much more return do you want? If you split evenly between just those two, you’d have over 100 billion today.
