A friend in investments sent this to me:

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.

That number can't be right. Even the cheapest of cheap-ass beer is at least 4 bucks per 12-pack. You do not get a dollar for 12 cans.

I think he's talking about if you took it right to the scrap yard rather than throwing it into a machine.

In MI we get a $1.20 for 12 cans. $.10 each deposit. :rich:
