401K[eg] Plan

I got the following from Ashley’s profile and thought it was funny, so I’m sharing it with you all:

Investment Tip:

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock three years go, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer three years ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $614.00.

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

It’s called the 401-Keg Plan.

Ingenious.

    Hmm, let’s see…
    $614 / $0.05 per can = 12280 cans of beer.
    $1000 / 12280 cans of beer = ~$0.08 per can of beer ($0.05 of which covers the can deposit).
    I don’t know where your friend Ashley is picking up 24-packs for $1.95, but I want in.
