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

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

If you had purchased $1,000 worth of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $000 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 $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.

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

Makes you proud to be an American!

I have lost about $20,000 from my investment account due to this economic meltdown.

On the bright side, at least the Cowboys are poised to win another ring.........oh wait.....

My best buddy has worked at the same newspaper for 26 years. He said he lost 25k on his 401.


I used to beat myself up because all my investment was in land and i felt i was missing out not being in the market, but now I'm OK:)

Thanks for the free consultation, Hos. I doubt I could invest more heavily in 401Keg than I currently am - but I sure won't be divesting now. Sure glad I resisted any advice to move everything into the glass bottles market.

I'll prolly use the recycling windfall to invest in Lotto scratchoffs. Baby needs a new pair of shoes.

I won a free slurpee at a 7-11 one time from a scratch off, maybe I should try my luck again:laugh2:
