 If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Delta Airlines
one year ago, you will have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1000 of shares in AIG
 one year ago, you will have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Lehman Brothers
 one year ago, you will have $0.00 today.
But---- if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer
one year ago, drank all the beer,
then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund,
you will have received $214.00.
     
 Based on the above, the best current investment plan
is to drink heavily & recycle.   
 It's called the   401-Keg.
