If You Bought $1000 of Stock. . .

If you bought $1000 of stock a year ago, you would now have. . .

$91.28 if you bought Washington Mutual.

$21.29 if you bought Freddie Mac.

$20.79 if you bought Fannie Mae.

But if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer a year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the recycling refund you would have $214 in cash.

So the best investment strategy is to drink heavily and recycle.
