It's All About Perspective...

I got this great email from a Chairman that sits on one of the various committees I am a part of. I added it to my blog because I thought a good thing for us all to remember right now is that as the world changes, it is and has always been - a matter of perspective.

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 one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $0.00 today.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you would have received $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.  It is called the 401-Keg.

A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon!

Makes you proud to be an American
