If you had spent $1,000.00 in shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today!
If you had spent $1,000.00 in shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.
If you had spent $1,000.00 in shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for the recycling refund, you would have received $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily and recycle.
It is called the 401- Keg plan.
And, as a bonus… a recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that on average Americans drink 22 gallons of alcohol per year. That means that the average American gets about 41 miles to the gallon!
Makes you proud to be an American doesn’t it!

I think Wade will like the sounds of this investment plan. The nice thing about it is that even children can start working on investing in the future by starting with coke.
Yes they can Ann. 🙂
I forgot to ask, Wade gives all our cans to a friend. I wonder if we can write that off as a charitable deduction? …..LOL
In this economy I doubt it. 🙂
We drink to that. Cheers d-)
I'll drink to almost anything. 🙂
401- Keg? d-) Thank fully, we are proud to live in 'Merica!
bahahahaha! I will definitely share the beer humor with my favorite bil later. He had a business golf tournament thingy nearby and that means we get him all to ourselves until Sunday.
Have yourself a funtabulous day, hon. xoxo
So that's your special guest this weekend. Awesome. 🙂
Lmao Cheers! Sandee y-)
Have a slurptastic Saturday g-)
And cheers to you too Steve. 🙂
Now that is good, redneck logic for sure! Hahaha. Cheers! Dick is gonna love it.
Big hugs from rainy jawjah, honey…
I love redneck logic. It's my favorite kind of logic. 🙂
I don't drink so I can see I have some catching up to do.
Yes, but you walk so you're doing your part. 🙂
Such a great plan. Sounds like a winner to me. Nothing better than a cold beer and you can make money too. Sandee, you and Zane and Little Bit have a great day.
I'm not a beer drinker, but one good cold one with pizza works for me. 🙂
I'm a Canadian and doesn't drink beer so I guess that tells me that my plan is OK. Ha,ha,ha.
Have a fantastic Saturday Sandee. Say hi to Zane & Little Bit for me. See ya.

You're doing fine Paul. Yes you are. 🙂
I like the beach, I walk on solar power.
Solar power is good and you're doing it right. 🙂
Good one honey!
Thanks honey, it's good to see you visit again. I've missed you. 🙂
Darn. I gave up beer because of the carbs. Maybe they'll find a way I can make money drinking vodka 😉
To quote the movie "Team America: World Police" … 'Merica, F**k Yeah
Vodka is way better than beer anyway. 🙂
Smart advice! Make money and do something good for the environment. This is a plan that I can get behind!
It's a plan most of us can get behind. 🙂
I don't have emission controls.
Me either. 🙂
this is great! Have a super duper day! Big hugs to you, Zane and Little Bit!
Thanks honey and big hugs to you, Russel and Miss Lucy. 🙂
Sandee, I don't invest in shares and I do not beer. So I guess I am a lousy investor! It doesn't sounds like an exciting life! Lol!
No, you're smarter than the rest of us. 🙂
Love this, Sandee! 🙂
I'm glad Linda. 🙂
Never knew that Vodka got such great mileage!
Well, I didn't either and now we both know. 🙂
So THAT's how a person becomes "green" – just drink 22 gallons of booze a year!
Apparently so Alec. 🙂
Heeheehee! There are a few people i know who might make use of this advice!
There's a lot more than a few here. 🙂
Make my gallons ice cream. Lol!
401- Keg plan. Love it!
I think I'd rather have the ice cream too. 🙂
My favorite part of this was the math at the end. Although 401-Keg is pretty hilarious.
Some people are so creative with this kind of stuff. 🙂
Fabulous analysis!
It certainly is. 🙂
I believe in chocolate investing for similar reasons.
Works for me. 🙂
