If you had bought $1000 worth of AIG it would now be worth $20.
If you had bought $1000 worth of Lehman Bros. it would now be worth $30.
If you had bought $1000 worth of Budweiser you would have $250 worth of recyclable cans.

Just sayin'...

6 pack of Budweiser: $5.89
1 can: .95 (est)
Cans in a pound of aluminum cans: 30 (est)
$1,000 worth of Bud: 1,053 cans, or 35 pounds

Aluminum: .88 per pound
35 X .88 = $30.80 -- the true return on cans from $1,000 worth of Budweiser

STILL a better investment. :lol:

True, I can supply the beer, I work on the weekends at a local wine store. We have a lot of beer also.

Absolutely, I met a man just Monday night who shared that he lost $93,000 in one of the bank collapses and upon calling the bank officials was told he likely would never see it again. :shock:

Wow. I have a hard time getting my mind around how the stock market works and exactly what is happening. But that helps me understand better.

Isn't the crux of the matter the fact that people just play with and trade and spend play money? It's a big, fake bubble that is going to pop? Or maybe it is popping...

Hopefully the Bank was FDIC Insured. They have to be. This would be covered.. yet it would take a while for him to get his money back from Govt. insurance etc.

The man, a wealthy businessman, stated that he has exhausted every contact and that he has been told more than once that he will likely never see the money again. It makes one wonder how safe "money in the bank" really is, huh?
