Thought I should pass this on in case some of you had any spare change to invest after the markets have fallen.



If you had purchased $1,000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have $42 left.

With Lehman, you would have $6.80 left.

With Fannie or Freddie, you wold have less than $5.00 left.



But -- if you had purchased $1,000 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



Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and
recycle.

cheers

I just crunched some numbers and you are way off. You would only wind up with about $12.50 in aluminum scrap.
Oh, and a big belly!tongue
