The 401K(eg) Plan

From a friend back in DC:

If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Airlines stock one year ago, you would have $49 today.
If you had purchased $1000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have $33 today.
If you had purchased $1000 of Lehman Brothers stock one year ago, you would have $0 today.
However, if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drunk all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling, you would have received $214 today as redemptions. Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-KEG Plan.
