If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49.00 today. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have $33.00 today. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will 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 will 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 proud to be an American!
 Wall Street and drink up!  |

| You're wrong about the beer. You get about 2 cents per can, so you would probably only get about $35 for all the empty cans. Not $200. |

I'd like to add, that if you drink bottles of beer over here, and bring them back, you get € 0,25 per bottle, which is about $ 0,34. So that would be an even better investment.
I can also add, that there are several premium brands (which generally are a lot more tastefull) are available in Dutch supermarkets, and are all sold in bottles, which are packaged in crates:
The Netherlands are a great place to get drunk! |

| Well, the dow was down 1200 points this morning. I think drinking heavily is in order. |
