Default Investment strategy for tough times

If you bought $1000 of stock a year ago, you would now have:

$91.28 if you bought Washington Mutual

$37.50 if you bought Neomagic

$21.29 if you bought Freddie Mac

$20.79 if you bought Fannie Mae

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the recycling REFUND… You would have $214.00 in cash($428.00 in Michigan).

So the best investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

So you're saying that 10 years ago, $1 could buy you 4.28 beers? Not likely my friend.

Math:

$214.00 / $0.05 = 4280

4280 / 1000 = 4.28 beers
