Title: Something to Ponder
Post by: Mr.Mike on January 26, 2011, 03:33:39 am
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines a couple years ago, you would have $49.00 today!

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG a couple years ago, you would have $33.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers a couple years ago, you would have $0.00 today.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer a couple years ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.

A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon!

Makes you darned proud to be an American!!!

If you send your wife to the mall with $300 she will come home with $1000 worth of clothes.
