Stock Markets Exposed

What would happen if I used a time machine to make money in the stock market?

Suppose I can go one year into the future for one day and print out all of the stock prices movements and bring them back to the present time. Besides becoming incrediby wealthy, does that mean that I took money from everyone who lost in the stock market?

1. You would probably lose money. Time machines spin up your synapses and cause them to overheat. So when it came time to sell, you'd just be mental jello.
2. no if you could do that (which you can't) it would actually benefit people (probably) because your investments into that company would stimulate it and help it grow meaning it can provide more jobs to more people (you know assuming you invested a lot)
3. It means your rich bitch!!! Go party and don't worry about it!
4. uh right
5. If you made the correct choices in the stock market, and got the same results, it would mean the same thing.
6. You would be maybe better off going back in time to say to 1926 and buying a couple of rolls of 1926 s nickles fresh out of the mint. Each one is worth $5000 today. Of course you will first need some old money to take with you to pay for them. But you can get some used 1917 s dimes for about $5.00 each to take with you to pay for your purchases. They might wonder why those dimes are so worn being only nine years old. But hey they are silver and silver is not the hardest metal around.
7. ehh I'd rather use the time machine to find out the lotto numbers for a particular day don't forget to put the crystals in the time machine!
8. no. the stock market is not a zero-sum game.
