Some recent investment advice came over the wire and we just had to share. In the current state of the markets, this seems to be the most prudent strategy, and it happens to also be good fun! So it goes like this:
If you had purchased $1,000.00 of AIG stock one year ago you would have $44.34 left.
With Wachovia, you would have had $54.74 left of the original $1,000.00.
With Lehman, you would have had $0.00 left.
But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago…drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214.00 cash.
Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. It’s called the 401-keg.

After celebrating our country all day, spend all night honoring our king...of pop, that is. The Suzie Wong lounge will be spinning Michael Jackson music starting after the fireworks and lasting until the wee hours of dawn.
In late 2007, five young professionals, long connected by both friendship and family, decided to pool and tap into their own altruistic nature while encouraging others to do so. Their forum - the party. Calling themselves ‘fun-raisers’ their track record bears evidence

You get a nickel back per can. If you get $214 back for $1000 worth of beer, you’re drinking 4280 cans.
The best service you will ever be able to provide your readers is to tell us where they sell beer for 23 cents a can.

closer to 115.50…
PBR 30 packs… $13×77cases = $1,001
30beers x 77 cases = 2,310 beers
2310 x .05 = $115.50
Don’t you get $.15 in some states? I’m recalling a Seinfeld episode about just the same conclusion.
Okay you guys are right. Lucky I wasn’t in finance with my math skills, or we would be in even worse trouble. Matt, love the iphone/beer mashup.
