If you had purchased $1,000 of Lehman Bros. stock one year ago, you would have $49 left.
With Wachovia, you would have $16.50 left.
With AIG, you would have less than $5 left.
But if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.
Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
It's called the 401-Keg plan.
I'm not saying you should do this, I just thought it was interesting, and funny.
