Default Economics 101

If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Lehman Brothers in August your shares would now be worth $0.00.

If you had bought $1000.00 worth of AIG in August your shares would now be worth $33.00.

If you had bought $1000.00 worth of beer in August, drank it all, then recycled the cans, you would now have about $214.00.

Think about it people.

I think they bought the cheap beer and got more than 1000 cans. Anyway, a financial analyst sent me this so.... consider the source.

You do realize that the money you receive for recycling is a refund of your deposit right?

"CRV" = California Redemption Value
I assume it's charged in other states too... right?

i think you are missing the point. if you are gonna blow a grand, at least make it worth your while.
