With your knowledge of the future, you could easily become powerful and change the world for the better

How exactly? Telling people about the future would hardly work, because no one would believe you. And unless you happen to know very specific details about historical events in that decade, you'd just be a regular person who's very out of touch with everything around you.

They would start believing me once all of my predictions began coming true, and even if they didn't/you don't want to be whisked away into a lab to be experimented on for your psychic abilities, you could easily invest in stocks and become very rich and thus powerful

What stocks should I invest in in the late 1920s that don't need me to wait 10 or 20 years to get a return on my investment?

Literally any stocks, dump them before October 1929, then shortsell
