Financial Advice for the Beer Drinker

[brauhaus]

"will my employer match what I put in?"

as stated before in the previous thread.... even tho it's a repeat I still like it.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Eh, it's still funny though (since I missed the original post).

 

[beeraggie]

You're a few days late

Well, I see that I am at the bottom of the non-work related chain of e-mails flowing through the country!!!

Oh well I still thought it was funny

A forwarded e-mail from SWMBO:

RETIREMENT PLANNING FOR 2008

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now
be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1000.00.

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have
$49.00 left

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank
all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND,
you would have had $214.00.

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

It's called the 401-Keg Plan

RETIREMENT PLANNING FOR 2008

As I am sure that you know, the American Economy is down in the dumps
and the Federal Reserve cut interest rates again today. By cutting the
interest rate again, after just cutting it last month, this is drawing
the comparison of efforts enacted just before the Great Depression. As
I would like all of you to be financially set I am sending you some
information on a plan that might keep you ahead in these uncertain
financial times.

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would
now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have
$49.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank
all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund,
you would have had $214.00.

heavily and recycle.

--This begs the questin, "cans? Who uses cans?!"

 

[EdWort]

At least when the stuff hits the fan, I can barter beer for other goods & services.

 

[Sea]

My 401-keg was full, so I started another one.

But not to worry, all will be okay! I'm getting a $600 kicker check thats going to magically jump-start the economy!:cross:

 

[98EXL]

it's funny, I'm going to start my 401-Keg in a few weeks here

 

[Desert_Sky]

At least when the stuff hits the fan, I can barter beer for other goods & services.

Ive been telling the wife we need a silo and a flex auger setup installed in the backyard for that very reason

 

[98EXL]

I know when the world ends, I'll go raid the grocery store of apple juice, and I have a nice stash of montrachet yeast.....at least we'll be drinking apfelwien on the regular, and I'll finally have friends

Sly Fox in PA, that's who. When I was there a couple of years ago they had 6 packs in cans : their pale ale and their pilsner. I took a few sixers back home with me.

Subject: Retirement Plan



This pretty much sums up what is going on with the stock market. Good
advice.....

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would
now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000.

With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock you would
have $49.00 left.

If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing left.

But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank
all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling
refund you would have $214.00.

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

This is called the 401-Keg Plan.

 

[shecky]

Glad to know I'm on the right track.

 

[conpewter]

What about stuffing money under the mattress?

You made my day! This is the 7th merge!

next challenge:

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy" merge?

 

[Saccharomyces]

Sweet. The 300 shares of WaMu I had are worth less than a bottle of Maharaja now. Who would have thought.

Good thing my portfolio is well diversified. I have IPAs, Barleywines, Pale Ales, ...

Funny, saw this comment on reddit today:

If you bought $1000 of stock a year ago, you would now have:

$91.28 if you bought Washington Mutual

$37.50 if you bought Neomagic

$21.29 if you bought Freddie Mac

$20.79 if you bought Fannie Mae

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the recycling REFUND... You would have $... 214.00 in cash.

So the best investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg Plan

So in addition to all your homebrew...lets all go out and invest in some microbrew!
