Beer Money

[Mike]

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago,
you would have $49.00 today! If you purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG, you would have $33.00. If you purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers, you would have $0.00 today.
But, if you purchased $1,000 worth of beer, drank all the beer, turned in the aluminum cans for recycling, you would have $214.00.
Therefore the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
It is called the 401-Keg Plan

Haha considering the way this week has gone on Wall Street I this post. It's good humor. Give it time and it'll all return to normal though.

Just don't invest in Yuengling cans if you live in CT. CT deposit lettering on the top or no, the bottle deposit places get real mad when they see Yuengling cans and won't give you money.

That's fitting - America's oldest brewery, and we can't even cash in their cans for money...

That's fitting - CT is gay...
