Funnies for Your Stock Market Woes... - 10-08-2008, 11:09 AM


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 a refund, you would have received a $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
It is called the 401-Keg.

And on a related note:

A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 2.2 gallons of alcohol a year.

That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon!

I was well ahead of the market 10 years ago. Is it too late to get caught up?
