A Little Fun


A friend just posted this on facebook and I think it's so funny! One year isn't a long time when it comes to investments, but it's interesting...


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!

So what do you think? I'm not a beer drinker, and I think that walking 900 miles seems a bit low, but hey on the surface it all sounds good!
