If time travel existed, I'd go back and buy me some 1980's Apple stock. I think we just proved time travel can't happen.

Or it does, but the person is smart enough to diversify to avoid suspicion :). Potentially because they tried that several times, each time going back and adjusting the plan.

I think 1 of 2 things would happen.

If someone went back in time and bought stock. It would branch another timeline.

Or

If someone went back in time and bought stock. The timeline is altered and we would know only that the time owned stock. But then does that mean that the future has already happened and the past exists at the same time as the future and both the future and the past is constantly changing?

Omg my head hurts now.

An honest question, why do people really care about the market capitalisation of a company?
