I find a job, no matter how menial or degrading, for 1990-1995 while I execute the following trading strategy:
In each case I buy at their low for the given year and sell at their high for the given year.
By the end of 1995 I'm set to retire in incredible luxury by just blowing a billion dollars on whatever strikes my fancy. The rest of the money I hand out to whatever group, neighbourhood, cause, whatever that I think needs money to the tune of a million dollars a day. Since I've probably got about 15 years left to me after that, my remaining money goes into a trust that does a "perpetual withdrawal" scenario. Assuming a conservative 5% return on the trust's account, I can perpetually pay out about 3.5 million dollars per day forever. The trustees would be tasked with paying out according to my rules, of course.
the stockmarket is not a casino, you cannot simply put $200 million on a car dealership company in 1993 and expect it to pay out the same way without altering the timeline
Hi billionaire genius it's me your best friend.
You wouldn't know this though unless you are a stock autist in which case, cool
Edit: I am not so I would put it all into apple at 31 cents a share. Would be worth something like 700 mil now with all the stock splits. The Forrest Gump strategy
The same way criminals in general do: fake ID.
Good move. You can easily get that in 1990 for small amounts
So that means I need a partner.
The amount of nit-picking here over a pure, whimsical thought experiment is really weird. ESPECIALLY since each objection has counters you can deal with in seconds.
I guess people need to "win". I'll just continue with the whimsy, though. It's more fun. You do you, though.
I was alive WAY the fuck before that. Like WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY the fuck before.
Difference between you and me here is I understand things like "intent" and "fun" and you don't.
See the difference?
I'm flattered that you think I'm so young. I'm middle aged.
