IF U HAD…….







If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today.



If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.



If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $0.00 today.



But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you would have received a $214.00.



Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.



A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year.



Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.



That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon! Makes you damned proud to be an American!
 
Sad how any more if you invest a dime in most any thing you loss that dime and then get charged a penalty for not having added to that investment. I put $100 in to a savings account last year about this time and then checked how much was there last month and it was down to $80 so yep can not invest any more and have any thing left
 
That is why those on this site buy old iron. You still have it to play with one year later.
 
Marilyn and I invested $4600 in Duke and Intel six months ago and we just cashed them in for $4800. That's a little under 5% gain. But we'll have to pay somewhere around $45 of that to uncle Sam in taxes. Jim
 
Yeah, but at the interest rates being paid by most banks, you're not even making inflation. Worst thing, was what happened to wife's retirement account - those fools were loosing money on it even when the stock market was going UP! Know who must have been making money 'cause it wasn't her.
