<![CDATA[Investment Advise]]>If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it
would now be worth $49.00.With Enron, you would have had $16.50
left of the original $1000.00.With WorldCom, you would have had
less than $5.00 left. If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines
stock you would have$36.00 left. Fanny Mae, $25.00. Freddie Mac,
$20.00. Lehman Brothers… $0.12.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago,
drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum
recycling REFUND, You would have had $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink
heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg Plan.

That is why I said approximately. Where I am now, you can't buy beer for less than $1.25 a can, seriously. Cheap beer you would get more, expensive beer, you could get less.

True...so really only 1300 to 1600 cans depending on the price of a case. Still way off though...

Which would still be pretty kick ass, but then again storing 1000 cans/36lbs would be pretty gay.

(You know on the side where it says like 5c or 10c MI NY MA or whatever)

28 empty aluminum cans to make a pound

So 1000 cans is about 36 pounds. 36 pounds times $.50 is only about $18.00.

But can you really get $214 for approximately 1000 cans??
