swdivad Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 If you had purchased $1,000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have $42 left. With Lehman, you would have $6.60 left. With Fannie or Freddie, 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 This is the type of logic so desperately needed on Wall St. *burp* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Even though the recycle value of scrap aluminium, has dropped form A$2.20, to A$1.60 in the last couple of weeks! Even Sims Metal, Oz's biggest recycler, stopped buying for 3 days. Unheard of. Maybe I need to start saving the alum caps off my rum bottles AND find someone who wants to buy glass!
