Investment Advise

[Jim]

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.

I like the sounds of that!

That is pretty good.....too bad I don't really sell back my cans, I should. But can you really get $214 for approximately 1000 cans??

[aliengotpsi]

cans are worth .50/ lb I dont think you would get 200.00 for a 1000 cans.. can anyone tell us what an empty can weighs?

[DelSlow]

1.75 ounces per can.
28 empty aluminum cans to make a pound

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

I'm pretty sure this was written in a state that has recylcing refunds... where you get a certain refund for returning your pop bottles and cans... (You know on the side where it says like 5c or 10c MI NY MA or whatever)

[DelSlow]

Well even if it was at $.10, which i think is the highest they offer. 1000 cans would still be $100. Which would still be pretty kick ass, but then again storing 1000 cans/36lbs would be pretty gay.

$1000 worth of beer does not = 1000 cans

[ichibankilla]

^^^That's what I was thinking, a 24 doesn't cost $24. The cheaper the beer you buy, the bigger the return.

[MisterCMK]

A 33 gallon black plastic bag that is full of crushed cans weighs around 25lbs.

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

[inspector01]

Actually it very easily can, depending on where and what you drink. 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.

^ arn't you in Ireland or something? So...do they have a deposit refund?

[inspector01]

I don't think they have deposit refund, im just saying the price depends on where you live and what you drink.
