OP here, this is what I'd do: - Drop everything and convince my parents to re-mortgage their house - Use the money to start a domain reselling business - Buy a handful of great un-registered domain names that could be sold later if things turned sour and I lost my parent's investment - Build my business in to a global player over the next decade and in parallel start buying up as many AAPL shares as I could afford - Sell the business and any personal property I accumulated before the 2007/8 financial crash arrives - Profit!! - Get in early with bitcoin mining - Sell all my AAPL stock during 2012 - Profit!! - Sell all my mined bitcoins on 1st Apri 2013 - Profit!! - Retire at 30, start a family and buy a load of SpaceX shares whenever they IPO. The best bit... it's not entirely mad to imagine someone, somewhere might have already pulled all this off (without the need for a second trip to 1997!)
