    You could say something like this: "At the rate these shares are going up, if we had bought them last year, we would be billionaires next year."

    Yes, of course, in real life/speech my sentence above would surround context... Maybe It's not the best example, but I simply wanted to know whether or not it's possible to mix the past and the future in such sentences.

    Thank you again!
    Thanks for correcting me.
