If you bought $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines 1 year ago, you would have $49.00 today. If you bought $1,000 of shares in AIG, you would have $33.00. If you bought $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers, you would have $0.00 today. But-if you bought $1,000 worth of beer-drank all the beer,turned in the aluminum cans for recycling, you would have $214.00.Therefore the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg Plan!!

$214.00 wouldn't come close to the cost of the rehab! And it won't cover even the anesthetic used for your liver transplant.

It isn't THAT much beer. At $15 per 12 pack (I'm going to use that just to make it easy math), it is a little over a 12-pack a week. 2 beers/day isn't going to kill anyone! I think 1/day is supposed to actually help your health, but then again any study can pretty much be twisted to either help or kill you.

I doubt if $82 would cover the costs of your nervous breakdown either! ($42+$33)!!!!!!!!!
Ya just choose your own poison! ;D

Geeez! I just put it up to lighten the day up a bit! Don't take it so seriously! I thought it was pretty clever of someone to actually think about it that much!

And another friend of mine said it wouldn't help him a bit...he always buys long necks! ;D

Mine was meant to be a joke. I guess it was just too drool. I'll have to add smileys or something so folks know I'm kidding. ;-)

In thinking about it, I'd only be getting about $40 back. We have to pay a nickel per can/bottle and get it back if we recycle it.

This reminds me of a Seinfeld episode where they try to figure out if it is worth it to load up on cans in NY to drive to MI to recycle them (10 cent per can there). Funny episode!

We sell ours to metal dealers....way better prices than those deposit things! Mostly they are the scrap yards (junk yards)! Might want to take a look at that in your area!

we used to save pop cans at work....once a month someone would take it to the recycler then buys pizza for every body.....

Skip my Bank of America buy at $5.00. Let me go invest in some beer! If nothing else, when the market crashes, just pop another one, you won't care by then anyway.
