I thought I’d take a few minutes to share a recent email that I received about making good investments. I know it sounds dull but trust me, you’ll like this…<\/p>\n
If you had purchased \u00a31,000 of shares<\/p>\n
in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have \u00a349.00 today.<\/p>\n
If you had purchased \u00a31,000 of shares in AIG insurance company one year ago, you would have \u00a333.00 today.<\/p>\n
If you had purchased \u00a31,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers five years ago, you would have nothing today.<\/p>\n
If you had purchased \u00a31,000 of shares in Northern Rock three years ago, you would have nothing today.<\/p>\n
But, if you had purchased \u00a31,000 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 \u00a3214.00.<\/p>\n
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The email goes on to give this little statistical gem…<\/p>\n
A recent study found that the average Briton walks about 900 miles a year.<\/p>\n
Another study found that Britons drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.<\/p>\n
That means that, on average, Britons get about 41 miles to the gallon!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
