The 401-keg investment plan

[Frankie]

If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago, you would have $49 left.

With Fannie Mae, you would have $2.50 left of the original $1,000.

With AIG, you would have less than $15 left.

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

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

It's called the 401-Keg plan.

In my area, a case of Bud lite in cans will run ya $16.04. $1000 worth gets you 62 and a third cases, and I'm told 24 cans is a pound of aluminum, so you also get 62.34 lbs of aluminum. So, to get the $214 stated, aluminum has to fetch $3.14/lb. Is it really bringing that?
Add in the fertilizer value, (no more turf builder on the lawn) and you have an A+ investment.

John, maybe your drinking to rich. :shock: Need to find something cheaper so you get more aluminum. :lol:

:lol2: Yeah, those 30 packs would have a higher ROI.

If you bought Old Milwaukee in kegs for $50 you could buy 20 kegs for $1000. An empty keg weighs 30lb. That's 600 lbs of aluminum. You would lose $10 deposit on each keg-$200. So to net the $214 aluminum would have to sell for 600(x)- 200= 214. 600(x)=414. x=69cents/lb.

I don't care what you call it. It just sounds so good.......

And who really cares about the math anyways? You forgot to mention the added benefit of more moisture in the yard, around the farm, on the crops, and everywhere else. That recycled beer has got to go somewhere.

In times as dry as it is here now, any moisture helps! :lol:
