I would probably just memorize some stock successes and sporting outcomes unless I can bring a notebook, in which case I would just record a lot of that stuff and take advantage of it. That is the textbook answer I know, but the fun happens after that.

Some things I would invest in:
Microsoft
other tech stocks

Bets to make:
all Super Bowls
all World Series
all March Madness stuff

Things to short:
Eddie Murphy
Betamax
Detroit
Vanilla Ice

If your older self ever shows up at your door claiming to have come from the future to warn you about mistakes that you are going to make, I think a fun thing to do would be to make plans to have your hand amputated, which would cause your future self's hand to disappear and he'll be freaked out because he'll think that the time travel aspects in Back to the Future are accurate.

Yeah, thank God we don't have any of that anymore.

We already know how to travel forward in time, so might as well just do that.

Back, and then buy an acre on the Las Vegas strip.

Why not trade on 100 or so of the most lucrative deals, since you know what they will be? You'd have hundreds of billions today.
