Actually I'm inclined to believe the proverb that knowledge is power. Can you imagine what you could do with the power to know events before they happen? You could prevent many tragedies from befalling those we hold dear. In no time at all you would be a hero of epic proportions and could very well end up being a trusted advisor to King Ellesar's court. Initially I don't think money would help you, and in fact would end up getting you killed . Imagine walking into a Minus Tirith inn and laying down a $20 (U.S) bill? You would be wisked away by a gaurd and convicted of witchcraft. Gold or silver bars would be more useful. Certainly even the mundane events of Middle-Earth would be 10 times more interesting than Earth. Alas, we are doomed to thoughts of fancy.
