Default Free Investment Advice

If you had purchased $1000 of shares of Delta Airlines one year ago, today it would be worth $49. If you had purchased $1000 of shares in AIG one year ago, today you have $33. If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago , today it’s worth zero. BUT---- if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for a recycling refund, you will receive $214.


Based on this data, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily and recycle.. It’s called 401-Keg.

From guitar price data samples in the classified forum, if you'd purchased a $1000 guitar one year ago, you could easily sell it for well over $214.

Based on that data, the best current investment plan is to succumb to GAS!

You don't think you'll get GAS from drinking a grand worth of beer?

The GAS comes from the bean dip that you eat while drinking the beer

Are you suggesting we should invest in marijuana instead of beer?
