The 401 Keg plan

Courtesy of our friends on the internet, theDurango Telegraph offers up the following investment tip in these troubled economic times.

First a little background… If you had purchased $1,000 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would currently be worth $49. With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1,000. One thousand dollars of Delta Airlines stock has a current value of $49. And investors who put their nest egg in WorldCom would be looking at a portfolio valued at a mere $5.

However, you could have also purchased $1,000 worth of canned beer one year ago. After consuming all 18,000 ounces (calculated using the average cost of canned Budweiser), the cans could be exchanged for an aluminum recycling refund of approximately $214.

Based on the above, theTelegraph is cautiously advising investors to drink heavily and continue to recycle.
