Investment Advice

If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago, you would have $49 left.

With Fannie Mae, you would have $2.50 left of the original $1,000.

With AIG, you would have less than $15 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drunk all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminium recycling REFUND, you would have $214 cash.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

That's one market that doesn't suffer in tough economic times, booze.

Yep,TC-if anything,the licensed beverage industry probably increases sales during tough times.
And as far as airlines go,while all the other major carriers are in debt and cutting back on staff,Southwest Airlines is steadily hiring and adding new routes.What is it they are doing that other airlines cannot seem to do?
