I just suddenly realized how I can save more money by drinking beer than investing in the stock market.
Imagine...
- $1,000.00 invested in Nortel one year ago would now be worth $49.00.
- $1,000.00 invested in Enron would now be worth $16.50.
- $1,000.00 invested in Worldcom a year ago would now be worth a total of $5.00.
Now if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer and drunk it all, then returned the empties, you would be ahead by about $74.00.
And...because you don't pay brokerage charges to the Beer Store, you would actually have some of your original investment left.
