If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today.


If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would 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 recycling refund, you would have received $214.00.

Based on these statistics, the best current investment strategy is to drink heavily and recycle. It's called the 401Keg plan.

Um, about 18 cents, I believe. Buy hey, it would beat the Lehman Brothers investment.

If you had invested in a $1,000.oo of weed, you would have about $2,500.oo now. Think of it, as long as the gov keeps up it's War on Weed the price will continue to rise. : )

I am going to try the beer plan. I'll let you know how it went when I get back from my vacation to Hawaii, Norway, and Zimbabwe.

Wait.....hang on a sec.....I need to see if the neighbors need any more buyers for the weed before I leave.

I believe the beer plan is pretty safe as long as aluminum doesn't devalue, Ills.

Native Californian transplanted to Texas in 1989, and I love the Metroplex! I'm a veteran paratrooper/infantryman and very conservative minded. I have no qualms about confronting policies that are detrimental to the United States of America regardless of any political persuasion. I support a strong military, tough, no-nosense politics, truth, justice and yes, even apple pie. I am against the Oprah-ization of this country, liberal politics and seditionists at every level. I'm a firm believer in the idea that the coddling mentality has backfired and served to ruin the backbone of America. There's nothing a good ass-kicking or some firm policies won't fix. I love sports, most notably NASCAR, the NHL, the NFL and MLB. I am a season ticket holder for the Dallas Stars and out at Texas Motor Speedway. Win or lose, I stick to my teams: Dallas Stars, Dallas Cowboys, San Diego Chargers, Texas Rangers, Houston Astros, Cleveland Indians and the San Diego Padres. If you want to know anything about me, just ask. My throwaway email is: foxdfwblogger@yahoo.com
