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 $1,000.00. With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left. 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.

Hahah, and by drinking lots of beer it keeps me with a job at the Beer Store. Everyone gains under this plan.
And even better if you buy the buck a beer instead of the more expensive stuff you'll get more money back.

I drank nearly $11,000 of beer last year... but I was a foolish investor, I drank it out of pint glasses. I got nothing back...
but my beer gut is mighty impressive

There was a guy doing some winter cleaning of his cottage a few weeks ago at the beer store....
I guess they never brought back the empties at the cottage. This guy had his van trunk full to the roof of empties....and get this.....he had a uhaul trailer that was full of empties also. :blink: :o
He got back $100 and some change. :lol:
EDIT: All were Old Milwaukee :puke:

I guess a few here have an investment plan that "goes up in smoke" on occaision? They should stick to investing in aluminium futures.
Speaking off, beer cans have been a 5 cent return as long as I remember. I think it is about time it went up a few cents.

It's not even funny!
I bought $3600 of stock in JDS Uniphase, Nortel, Bombardier and Ford in 2001. I finally gave up and sold it all, I got about $800.
In that time, I think I bought a total of 4-5 cases of beer.
Definitely wasted my money on the stocks. :(

The thing with stocks, is that you should only invest in the markets you know a LOT in... you should be an expert of the company's products, and research their market place...
or get someone to help you out.

Should have invested that $1000 in Google when they had their IPO, pretty sure $3000 in beer is better then #1000 ;)
