See the future

Knowing stock movements, lottery numbers, and personal outcomes in advance converts future knowledge into direct financial power
You can make different choices in the present to avoid disasters you see coming, steering around harm without rewriting history
Seeing the future carries no paradox risk — existing reality remains untouched while you benefit from what you know

Change the past

You can undo your own worst decisions — the actual regrets that haunt you — rather than just watching new ones approach
Waiting until a lottery result is announced, then going back to place the bet, achieves the same financial upside as foreknowledge
Changing the past to stop genuine historical atrocities is only possible by altering events, not by observing the future
