Now here is something interesting:

For all you beer drinkers out there!

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

With Lehman, you would have $6.60 left.

With Fannie or Freddie, you would have less than $5 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 had $214.

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

This is a pretty good investment plan, but it can be improved.

Just save your aluminum cans for a couple of years and you’ll probably get your full $1000 investment back. Inflation is the inevitable consequence of the trillions of $ created over the past few weeks. Price inflation will more than offset the deflationary effects of the wreckage of the real economy upon commodity prices. Of course, a few six-packs may cost $1000 by then.
