Recycling Investments

 Bedlam Humour

Thanks to Ed Goldstraw for sending joke:

• If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have £49.00 today
• If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in AIG insurance company one year ago, you would have £33.00 today.
• If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers five years ago, you would have nothing today.
• If you had purchased £1,000 of shares in Northern Rock three years ago, you would have nothing today.

However, if you had purchased £1,000 worth of beer one year ago at Tesco's, drunk all the beer, then taken the aluminium cans to the scrap metal dealer, you would have received £214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
