Investment

Today's Economics

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!
