Investing? It's all relative...



If one year ago you invested a thousand dollars in Delta Airlines, or AIG, or Lehman Brothers... this is what you would have today to show for your market savy:

Delta.......... $49
AIG............ $33
Lehman......... 0

But if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer and drank all of it, then you would have:

Aluminum beer cans recycled...... $241

Obviously in these dire and stressful financial times drinking beer may be both the best therapeutic and investment choice.

  1. Jack,

    Fantastic analysis. Yet another good reason to drink beer. This is a Proverbs 31 kind of time. And I am not talking about the latter half, which is what most are familiar with, but the earlier "sayings of king Lemuel"
