If you purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago you would have $49.00 left.
With Enron, you would have had $16.00 left of the original $1,000.00.
With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 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.
A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found Americans drink, on the average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Makes You Proud To Be An American! :O)

LOL. Too funny!! Going to my "investment" seminar at the liquor store now!
Thanks for putting a smile on my face today. Its getting harder to do if you watch the news. I am off to invest in some 'fuel' right now!! Thanks!
;)
As I look at the current economy the value of beer should be going up, it is a counter-cyclical product like drugs during a depression.. or coffins during a plague
I can't share this with my husband then he would try to reason how beer is a good investment.
I love it! Thanks for giving me a chuckle!
Laura, that was too funny- and with everything that's been going on with our economy, I need to have something to laugh about today.
Yes............the lighter side is always refreshing. Thats a good one!
Hmmmm...now if I can just figure out how to put those losses from the beer investment in my tax return, I would be in even better shape! Too funny .... thanks!
You can never go wrong with beer. It is a nice sedative. Not for me, of course.
Have any statistics for wine? LOL I'm primarily a wine drinker and it's certainly become quite the investment for me since I buy a case at a time and often buy them as gifts - I guess I should have considered that when I decided to get married at a winery a few years ago. Ok, going to do some investing. ~ Anne Marie
So Laura I assume you wont be hiding any dollar bills in your mattress in these troubled financial times? or buying stock to invest in? bottoms Up!
Funny
Cute comparison...but who knew the national average would be that much!
Laura...
Finally, a common sense approach to investing and saving!
