Festus, I remember hearing about that story. Very odd. You know, if he was smart enough to build a time machine to travel 250 years back in time, why did it never occur to him that at an average compound interest rate of 6% he could make over 2 million times on his initial investment!

He worked way too hard. All he had to do was put $175 in the total stock market mutual fund then go back home and enjoy the same money. Heck, if that ain't enough. Do it again.

"But the fact is, with an initial investment of only $800, in two weeks' time he had a portfolio valued at over $350 million."

========= We should make him head of the social security privatization fund.
