2008 Economic Update

[Kenneth Risenhoover]

OK Guys and Gals........I just got the following email......thought you might enjoy it!

Subject: Economic Update

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

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

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

      Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink
heavily and recycle. It's called the 401-Keg.

      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, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.

Makes You Proud To Be An American doesn't it!

  That is sad but also funny!

Best quote so far from a hedge fund manager:

* "This is worse than a divorce, I've lost half my net worth and I still
have a wife",

Hmm, now where have I read a variation of this recently?

I guess it is circulating in several forms and they all hit home these days. I like the "401-Keg" variation in Ken's post.
