Thread: Investing properly

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49 today! If you purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG, you would have $33. If you purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers, you would have $0 today. But, if you purchased $1,000 worth of beer, drank all the beer, turned in the aluminum cans for recycling, you would have $214.
So the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
It is called the 401-Keg Plan.....Drink up!!!

X2^^^ Awesome!

**** yea

i support this message. drunkie is who we need in the office.

At least you could have used real number. Those figures don't add up or match anything.

From experience, that'd be like 4280 cans @ 5 cents a piece to equal $214. 4280 cans / 30 = 143 30 packs and they'd have to be $7 a 30 pack at that. I wish this were true... lol

In college, we hauled in cans from our house a lot and our personal best was $257 worth, so we've done our share of investing.

I would buy 30 packs all day if they were $7 each again.

Stewarts (Kwike-mart) has a beer you can buy for $0.75 a can or $2.50 for a 6-pack or $4 for a 12 and $7 for a 24 pack.

Numbers still don't work out.

If you use FoSHO's number of $.05/can, spending $1000 at $7/case would get you 143 cases or 3432 cans and give you a return of $172.

Around here, you can't get $.05/can. They pay you around $.50/lb for scrap aluminum cans. It takes around 30 cans to equal one pound. So 3432 cans would be 115 lbs. At $.50/lb that is $58.

Not to mention your numbers for the stock prices are way off too.

This wasn't a serious numbers thread, this was a copy and paste from where ever I saw it; So its a Joke thread and yes I know my math was off for the beer, someone just said they never seen a 30 pack for $7 and I just brought up something that was close to the 30 pack, hence the 24 pack $7 and I can't imagine how god awful it must taste.

I recycle and when i take in 2 full barrels (think oil barrels) full of smashed cans, i get about $45 @ $.55/lb.


And it all tastes god awful.
