Sound Financial Advice

[DarrelSPowers]

If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago, you would have $49 left.

With Fannie Mae, you would have $2.50 left of the original $1,000.

With AIG, you would have less than $15 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drunk all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214 cash.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

no way that you'd get back 214 from 1k, that sounds too high

yeah that's some fuzzy math. Unless you are getting some REALLY cheap beer... like brewed-in-a-tub-by-a-mountain-hermit type cheap beer.

Hmm, well, at my local beer store, I can get a 30 pack of Natural Ice for $12, plus deposit (Michigan is 10 cents) that makes $15 per 30 beers.

$1000 / $15 = 66.66 packs of beer, call it 66 b/c let's face it, no one will sell you 2/3 of a pack of beer.

66 packs of beer makes = 1980 cans

Thus, if in michigan and buying cheap beer, you could get $198 back.

This reasoning made news some time ago. May not be the same companies used as example, but same concept.

You know... you pay the deposit first when you buy the beer, you're only getting your own money back when you turn in the cans.
