Here are the cold, frost-brewed facts:

•      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 a recycling refund, you would have received $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 41miles to the gallon!  Makes you proud to be an American.
