Stock market or Beer?

Recommended Posts

Received this funny from a friend:

If you had purchased £1,000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95

With HBOS, earlier this week your £1,000 would have been worth £16.50

£1,000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5

(I dread to think about AIG, Lehmans etc)

...but if you bought £1,000 worth of Tennants Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214!

So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle...

:P

Also invest in a good can crusher. It will let you take 3-4 times as much cans to the recycle place.



Got one in my garage nailed on the side of my home-built recycle center. It's only a few bucks but it was a gift from my brother-in-law.

Or you could just set them up on the floor and stomp them flat. :D

I got a similar e-mail from a friend, but it ended with:
A recent study found the average adult walks 900 miles in a year.
Another study found the average adult consumes 22 gallons of alcohol in a year.
That means the average adult gets 41 MPG!
