How to get rich through time travel.

  Well there are several ways to do this.In "the end of eternity" by Asimov
you have a society that conducts regular trade using time ways in the same
manner as we use roadways. But that is a little more organized than you 
probably want.

  I remember reading one story about a scientist who invents a time machine
and goes back to the middle ages with a pocketfull of silver coins. He hires
a lawyer to manage his investments and through the miracle of compound interest
manages to aquire control of most of the worlds wealth. He uses this money
to pay for the research needed to construct his time machine.
