Title: Sign of the Times - New retirement
Post by: montmil on October 07, 2008, 08:08:13 PM

Subj: New Retirement Plan
 
If you had purchased $1,000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have $42 left.
With Lehman, you would have $6.60 left.
With Fannie or Freddie, 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.

I signed up years ago. It's working!  Monte

Unfortunately, in my state, we don't have any refund for cans or bottles.
We do recycle though.  The sales of the aluminum, glass, and plastic (and tin cans and cardboard, and paper, and newspaper) etc. seems to keep a substantial part of our recycling center's costs down.

This doesn't stop me from generating a fair number of cans and bottles..
