New Economic Strategy--well maybe not all that new

Post by Carolynn »

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will 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 will have received a $214.00.

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

Thing is, I have known men who practised that strategy for years, but not too faithfully the recycle part!!! :lol:

How much more would you have beyond the cans had you chosen to recycle the - uh? the, shall I say, "waste water" and bottled it and sold it. Seems with gas at $2.50 a gallon and water at $3.00 you would be well ahead!

Well, I'm blond, what do you expect!? :-k :twisted:
