I work for a major, MAJOR financial services company. It’s been a wild couple of weeks lately, including some issues over the weekend that resulted in me being called out of church service twice on Sunday. That made the following, which appeared on the bulletin board of our break-room on Monday, sound like pretty good advice:
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 investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called “The 401-Keg” plan.
Sounds as if you ought to fire JRoosh as your financial advisor and hire Kevin Ecker.
I am so not showing this entry to my husband!
Keep in mind that to get $214 worth of recyclable aluminium, you’d have to buy something like 300 cases of beer for that $1000.
In other words, we are talking about some seriously bad hooch. Whoever tries this deserves what he gets.
Ahhh, thank you for the endorsement. To highlight my great talents, I would like to give everyone a free stock tip.
They are now making Schlitz again with the original recipe. They had to go dumpster diving for old brewmaster notes on yellowed paper and the whole works.
Now it’s back in all it’s bubbly goodness. Drink up!! Even if it’s not the most sound financial decision you’ll be too drunk/happy to notice. So it’s a win-win!!!
