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 & 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!

Needs updating....you couldn't buy Lehmon Brothers a year ago....It went broke in 2008

You would probably get considerably more for the aluminumum cans.

If you would have bought $1000 of AIG when this "joke" was written you would have quadrupled your money in 3 years.

Although you may have doubled your money by buying Delta during the same time period...Airlines aren't investments...they are trades.

One more though...you never risk more than you can afford to lose. :wink:
