Theres a very intresting story on yahoo, someone invested 800 bucks and made 350 million in just 2 weeks.
But how many insider tips would you need to make so much money? Or is he telling the truth? Hmm makes you wonder ;)

LMAO, did anyone bother looking at the source for the article?
*edit* Here are a few of the other high quality news stories the World Weekly News has worked on recently

All he wants is to be allowed to return to the future in his "time craft."

However, he refuses to reveal the location of the machine or discuss how it works, supposedly out of fear the technology could "fall into the wrong hands."

LMFAO, it looks like it already has. Assuming the story is true, which it is not. Besides, he couldn't forsee his arrest? LOL

Well, ya see, that's one of the problems of time travel. Once you go back, you mess up history, so the you in the future would not know what the you, when going to the past, would fsck up. Clearly this man did not take that into account...looks like he should have practiced time travel first - try it out on a vacation perhaps before fscking things up. :)

(Yes, clearly not a true story, I know.)

Null and void.

Something I've always wondered though...why exactly is insider trading illegal? If you know something why not capitalize on it?

LOL...how the hell would you organize something like that. 126 high risk trades in TWO WEEKS? With a ton of companies? Who in the hell could have connections like that? Certainly not a nobody like this guy.

Time travel is more believable. The whole story is fabricated.

Now if he really did point out the whereabouts of Osama, then I'd be impressed. ;)

Why the hell does Yahoo use WWN? A friend of mine sent me this article and thought it was real (not about the time travel but he thought it was a credible source).

Watch wallstreet :) The SEC has to investigate those making shady deals because it's not fair or ethical for those that happen to know something, capitalize on it.

In a bid for leniency, Carlssin has reportedly offered to divulge "historical facts" such as the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden and a cure for AIDS.
That right there is what loses all his credibility. Imagine if you would go back to the 18th centurty. Would you be able to tell everyone how to make a car? Of course not. Would you be able to tell them how to cure polio? I don't think so. You just know that penicilline is good. 95% of people don't know how to make it (or cultivate it). I also don't think he would have specific knowledge of where Osama is. How many people would know something like that?

you know, his time travel story is almost as believable as insider trading. :)
