GameHauler Report post Posted October 4, 2008 If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago you would have $49.00 left. With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00. With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 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 plan. A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found Americans drink, on the average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon. Makes You Proud To Be An American!

NativeRat Report post Posted October 15, 2008 They were joking on the Daily Show about investing in food and guns. But no joke, Pilgrims Pride Chicken is down to a few dollars a share, and so is Taser. In hard times, people will keep eating cheap, and police around the world will keep buying guns. If we sink into anarchy, guns and food are safe bets. And when you can snap up 20 shares of something for 80 bucks, why not? A lot of people lose that much in a night at the casino.
