With all the doom and gloom posts, some times you just need a break and a change of pace.... I offer this:
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33 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 recycling refund, you would have
received $214!
Based on the above, the best current investment play is to drink heavily and recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.
A recent study found that the average American male walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of
alcohol a year. This means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon. Kind of makes you proud to be an American!
