The state of the economy

HOW TO INVEST IN THE MARKET..."If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49 today! If you purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG, you would have $33. If you purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers, you would have $0 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. So the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg Plan.

Careful drinking too much beer can make you do some dangerous things.

Best idea yet

my first investment ever turned into $0 when the company was liquidated. I should've gotten out after the first year when my initial $500 investment was down to $150 or so.... Within 3 years it was gone. That'll teach me to listen to a broker.

good one!

Saying a can of beer cost $1 per that equates to 1000 cans of beer. If you were to change in 1000 cans of beer you would get (at 10 cents a can) $100. A good investment but not as great as it says.

Edit: Should note that if you are paying less than $1 a bottle, you are most likely drinking tap water with some beer flavor added.

But that's a 10% ROI on money you're pissing away anyway (pun intended). I know some people "inside the beltway" that can piss away your money and not get ANYTHING for it.

Maybe your teaparty politicians are drinking a little too much beer dontcha' think? Keeping you all divisive, so no decisions can be made to turn that $1000 into more instead of less.

Yes, Calbert...it's the people defending the constitution...NOT the people borrowing more money when our problem is too much debt...turn off CNN.

Unfortunately, here in NY, we have a 5 cent bottle/can deposit. Costs me $1.20/case that I have to roll over to the next case. After my last case my heirs will get $1.20 from my estate.

Same deal here in Iowa...if things keep going as they are, I will be out picking up cans and bottles again like I did as a kid.
