What to do in an troubling economy...?

This was an email that was forwarded to me and it made me laugh so I thought I’d share it.

If you had purchased $1,000 of Lehmann Bros. stock one year ago, you would have $49 left.

With Wachovia, you would have $16.50 left.

With AIG, you would have less than $5 left.

But if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.

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