Investment 101

Subject: INVESTMENTS

For Your Info:

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Wachovia stock one year ago you
Would have $35 left.

With Fannie Mae, you would have had $23 left of the original $1,000.00.

With AIG, you would have $36 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank
All of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling
REFUND, you would have $214.00 cash.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink
Heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg

That don't work for wisconsin and is still too inflated. Wishful thinking, but still good advice. There is a $.15 deposit on aluminum cans in some states. If you bought REALLY chep skunk piss beer, you might make those numbers.

your return on this investment has taken a hit just like all the rest. aluminum cans are down to 43 cents per pound.

I'm sure those who have lost all that money will take great comfort and "lift a few" beverages to ease their pain.

We may all find ourselves dumpster diving to find that aluminum eventually.
