The 401-Keg Plan
If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.
With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000.
With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left.
If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing left.
But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all 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.
This is called the 401-Keg Plan.

Funny!
ReplyDeleteLet's do another fun game: If we bought $1,000.00 worth of Wachovia stock right now ($3.92/share), what will it be worth tomorrow?
Anyone want to guess?
:^)
ReplyDeleteNow to show I'm an engineer; I looked up spot price for aluminium, weight of an aluminium can, and calculated....well, let's just say that this "investor" is drinking some really awful stuff, the kind that clears a whole room from the smell when one is opened.
BB, I'm no engineer; I'm a greeter at Kmart. Even to me this investment plan looks a bit specious. I wonder if they guy who did the calculations before you might have drank all the beer at one sitting and been a bit off in his calculations?
ReplyDeleteThanks, but no thanks. I'll stick with plan A from yesterday. Let's see, yesterday Wachovia was $3.92 a share and today it sold for $7.00. I'll take a 78% increase over the 401Keg plan:) Yesterday's $1,000 could have been $1,785 today.
Well, that would be approximately 300 cases, so I would assume that if he tried to do this, he would have exploded. Literally. So no. Alcohol may have been involved, but not that much.
