Investment Strategy

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines 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 results above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.

By the way, a recent study found that the average American walks about

900 miles a year.

Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.

That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon!

Makes you proud to be an American, doesn't it?

Now there's a mark to model scheme if ever there was one. You actually bought $786 worth of beer, and loaned someone $214 dollars without interest.

Well, to be real for a change, investing is about careful consideration (or paying someone for careful consideration) how much to invest into what and when. Then, eventually, selling the investment at a time others think they are worth more than you think they are. Supposedly that is all based on publicly available information. I think thaat now is a good time to invest in beaten down companies that will eventually rise above the current turmoil and do well. Unfortunately, I don't have a crystal ball, and neither the dough nor the time to devote to this kind of careful gambling.

Nevertheless, for the individual, the motto remains buy low, sell high. Good luck.

PS. Here in Jersey there is not much deposit to invest or loan.
