"Investment Advice for the Hard Times Ahead" Topic

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago you would have $49.00 USD left.

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

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

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

The facts are clear BEER is the best investment in America today. Now more than ever.

Given the massive market uncertainties, Beer Investors should not remain complacent. Join with other beer investors and call your Congressman or Senator and urge them to vote for tax breaks and loans to assist beer investors.

It's called the 401-Keg Plan!

A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found Americans drink, on the average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.

That means, on average, beer drinkers get about 41 miles to
the gallon. Better than most autos on the market today!

I'd recommend investing in shotguns and gold coins.

If I had just bought and saved the metal I use to cast figures from I would have doubled my money in 2 years. If I then sold the metal retail in competition with PA, I could undercut them by quite a bit and still make even more profit.

Ellen Degeneres said on the Tonight Show the other noght that she had moved all her investments into collectible plates. That's a plan.

Beer is good ! I need to invest in some soon !!!!

900 miles a year? That's 2.5 miles a day. Really?

2.5 miles a DAY? That is not far. You can walk 3 miles an hour without hurrying.

41 mpg for beer drinkers is not so hot when compared with most cars fuel consumption in Britain. The majority of car can probably match 41mpg these days. On the other hand, we probably walk further and consume more alchohol on average as well.

So many variables….I need to do some research….I'll just go and open a bottle of Bishops Finger….

Slackers.

Aussies down over 80 litres of beer every year on average ( about 4 litres to a gallon ) and NZ is close behind.

Couldn't have said it better myself, but add a good rifle and pistol, and lots of gold!

What if you drink beer in bottles, though?

"I'd recommend investing in shotguns and gold coins".

I don't know about the gold, it's like 900 bucks an ounce or something. Now, buying gold ten years ago would have been an awesome idea.

You mean you didn't?

Still, even at today's price of gold, it is still the single best investment in the market. Past history has shown that gold always retains its relative buying power in an economy.

The only items I know of better than gold to invest in are "primers". If there are any reloaders out there, you will know what I mean. It's the one component you cannot make at home. Second to that; brass for your weapon of choice.

Just out of interest, what happens when everybody who bought gold realises it's just a metal, and you can't do anything with it if nobody wants shiny yellow metal. You can plant a potato.

1. Incorporate and then file for bankrupcy.

2. Pretend you "lost" all that money and haven't really doled it out to your rich friends and promised a kickback to every member of Congress.

3. "Lose" all that money, but make sure you've got everybody's mortgage in the drawer. When they don't pay up, foreclose. You've got the money and a mortgage you can sell again. (See 1929).

4. Be well-groomed and clean-cut. No one will question your sincerity.

Huh? The smiley codes are case-sensitive? Who's daft idea was that?

Blame the Eunichs

"Risk Not Thy Whole Wad." This is founded on three rules:

1. Play the Market only with your reserves, never your essential principle.

2. Diversify your allocations.

3. If you see a good deal, buy it.

I had wondered before Pterry wrote it- though the potato reference was to see who else had read MM. I can see teh point in history (hard to get hold of- status symbol for kings), but what is the point now?

I'm investing in steel, brass, and lead. With those I can get all the gold, silver, and platinum I want.

"I'd recommend investing in shotguns and gold coins".

I'd recommend a rather cheaper ammunition load.

Best investment advice is and always will be, "diversify, diversify, diversify". The more the better. It takes a pro to do it right (hope you can find a competent/honest one).

The shotguns and gold are good backups too.

I dunno- you can pay your mortgage for one month with a shotgun, but the weak part of the plan is that you have to give the bank your name.
