The story about the man who was telepathically in contact with his past and future selves is Now +n Now -n by Robert Silverberg. My copy is in Nova 2, edited by Harry Harrison. 2. The story about the man who invested enough money in the past to pay for his trip back there is Compounded Interest by Mack Reynolds. My copy is in SF - the Best of the Best, ed Judith Merrill, but the citation is (c) 1956 Fantasy House. Most of us as schoolboys calculated the value of "Caesar's penny", invested on his visit in 55 BC an some trivial rate of compound interest. However, the seminal story is of course H G Wells' When The Sleeper Wakes. -------
