    Immediately make a list of everything that will happen in the future that I can bet on or invest in.

      None of that would be reliable anymore, unless you can bet on geological events. Your presence would have a ripple effect that alters events more and more as time goes on. Every interaction with you knocks people off their original timeline, and every person they interact with is knocked off their timeline. This begins localized around you but quickly spreads until even uncontested tribes are no longer on their original timeline. The timelines diverge more and more as time goes on. Something as volatile as sporting events become hard to predict very quickly. The stock market probably follows similar trends for a few years but becomes more difficult to predict, your knowledge of successful products is probably still helpful. After 10 years no babies originally born in that year will be born, the chances of the same egg meeting the same sperm is incredibly unlikely. The world is unrecognizable.
