I found this in another Forum I am in:
"If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Qantas one year ago,
you would have $49.00 today!
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago,
you would have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago,
you would have $0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all
the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund,
you would have received $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.
A recent study also found that the average Aussie walks about 900 miles a
year. Another study found that Aussies drink, on average, 22 gallons of
alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Aussies get about 41 miles
to the gallon!
Makes you damned proud to be an Aussie!"
