The Value of Beer

By
Real Estate Agent with Gibbs Realty and Auction Company 81147

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)

HA! I love it! Love it love it!

Not to dimish what's "going on" at all, but I do believe we always find what we are looking for. Misery loves company, and if we want miserable company, we can always find it. It's always harder to find the good things in life (and humor is one of them!)

Yeah, bad news sells, but finding something to laugh about...now that is priceless!

So why don't you buy the stock at $49?  We are in a risk takers dream market.  I love risk takers as they see a positive in a negative situation.........

This is an oldie, but always a goodie! Especially for today. What will 10,000$ worth of WaMu investments be worth a year from now?

Wow, lol what a great post!  I love a beer now and then; maybe I should invest more heavily into it.  Beer Lovers of America would love this information.

I've got to pass this on to my husband. He always say alcohol is the best thing to invest in, anyway. When people are happy they drink, when people are sad, they drink...
