JCN Industries. Jerks Compute Needlessly Inc. Buy a pair of 20-20 hindsight binos and discover now what you should have done in the future. IBM is dead wrong. There are magic business binoculars. The light beams go into a D-Ring accelerator and start to travel forwards in time. When they get to a suitable temporal point such that the incipient reflective resistance due to event horizon compression equals the angle of the forward velocity vector, they reflect back to the user images of future events. Of course you cannot alter the future, but at least you can be prepared for some of your dumber mistakes. I used to subscribe to a day after tomorrow's newspaper from a time-travelling service. The headlines would land on my doorstep each and every day. I would pour over the stock prices and go downtown in a fever. Not having much money to buy stocks, I used to harangue my friends to back me in some sure fire ventures. I would tell them unerringly that some stocks were rising and they would look at me after a while with a curious stare. Many wanted to employ me as an investment advisor. On the whole though most had remarkably short memories. Not one person congratulated me on a successful call. Every time out they were as doubtful as the first time. No matter how many times I won the bet, they thought it had to do with luck. Not one gave me more than a niggling offer to share the upside, and many missed the opportunties altogether. As many said, no one has tomorrows newspaper. I had to agree. I had the day after tomorrow's. In the end it increased my frustration level with each passing day, and I decided to unsubscribe. I was walking past a store window around Christmas one day in New York when I came upone a forlorn and bedraggled man was looking longingly in a store window at some luxury items he obviously could not afford. With an impulse of generosity I gave him my subscription, and told him the journal was very exclusive, but I omitted to tell him of the supernatural characteristics of the news. When he grinned and thanked me with an effusive grin, and a hearty handshake, I bid him a farewell and good luck. What's your name stranger? I called out as he walked away. "Warren Buffet", was his reply.

I wonder what ever became of him.
