Very spooky. I've never been convinced by the theories of time travel, but that certainly makes you wonder.
But $800 to $350 million in 2 weeks? Not a bad return rate :eek:

Fake name, fake id, probably laundering money for the mob or something.
Insider trading (initial investment of $800?? Yeah right, like Wall Street or any banker would pay attention to him...)
Psychopath
If he really were a time traveller, wouldn't it SUCK to travel back to a time where two weeks later you know you'll end up in jail?? Did he think about THAT?
:rolleyes:

I think the reporter was on strange drugs when he wrote the story. 800 into 350 million? With only 126 trades? He multiplied his investment by 43,750 times its original value? What stocks did he buy? From my rough estimates, he would have had to turn a progressive turnover of 375% on each investment. Guess what - didn't happen.

there was an ad in the back for a book that tells you the secrets of time travel, for only $19.95.
