Gargaro's World: Invest in a 401 Keg

The following info was sent into me by one of my three readers. As an investor with very limited knowledge of the stock market, this makes perfect sense to me. So I thought I would share…

If you had purchased $1,000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have $42 left.

With Lehman, you would have $6.60 left.

With Fannie and Freddie, you would have less than $5 left.

But if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer in cans one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund, you would have had $214.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.

I have been heavily invested in this program for several years and always turned a profit. I used to remove the coils from units I replaced and sell at premium prices. Our legislatue passed a law that regulated scrap yards has really cut into my most profitable income source.
