Blu-Ray vs. Beer

[JimShaw]

My new Blu savings program.

If I had purchased $1000.00 of Fannie Mae stock one year ago, it would now be worth $31.00. With Freddie Mac, I would have $37.25 left of the original $1000. With Lehman Brothers, less than $5.00 left.

If I had purchased $1000.00 of AIG stock I would have $44.00 left. If I had purchased Bear Stearns stock, I would have nothing left.

But, if I had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund I would have $214.00 which represents about 10-11 Blus if I had gotten a good deal on them.

I started yesterday on this forward thinking plan.
