     I recall a story that involved a man who had in some unspecified way
made contact with himself 2 days in the past and 2 days in the future.  By
maintaining this contact over a long period, he made a comfortable living
through the same modest investments someone else suggested.
     Another story involved some mysterious gentleman who appeared in the
1400s and invested some semi-trivial amount, which grew via compound interest
and prudent manipulations until it included most of the property in Europe.
The use to which this massive fortune was put?  Paying for the resources
necessary to time-jump back to the 1400s....
