Economics lesson

Post by Carolynn »

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!

haha that made me laugh as a home brewer who is always hoarding bottles to age.. maybe I have a retirement fund after all :huh:
A little off topic but I can't help but laugh to myself while under dressed with silk and lace, sitting out back with the boys sampling fine cigars, or a new pipe tobacco, and brewing beer [-X haha

:lol: Sometimes one has to just sit back and face the realities of economics. I am one who likes to sample the craft beers of Michigan, the other night after a round of golf I stopped and tried a new one they had on tap. After a bit the waitress came back and asked me how it tasted. I smiled and told her "Tastes like another one."
