Investment Advice

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today!


If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.


If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $0.00 today.


But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for the recycling refund, you would have received $214.00.


Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily and recycle.


It is called the 401-Keg.

And as a bonus...


A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that on average Americans drink 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that the average American gets about 41 miles to the gallon!


Makes you damned proud to be an American!


Editor's Note: Don't hold me to the authenticity of the dollar amounts. Economic variables in today's market are highly unstable.
