A andrasnm Sep 21, 2001 #1 If you bought $1000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $72. If you bought $1000 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, and traded in the cans for the nickel deposit, you would have $79.

P praetorian2 Sep 26, 2001 #8 tharp, i crack up every time they run that on cnbc..... Hey andrasnm.... If I bought 1k worth of natty light, that's 22 kegs, I get 220 back when I go for my keg rebate.... You're investing in the wrong beers man....

D dozu888 Sep 26, 2001 #9 Wait a minute... aren't the cans already priced in when you purchase the beer? In other words, you only get $921 worth of the beer liquid when you pay $1000. So I think stocks are still the better investment.

R rtharp Sep 26, 2001 #10 Natty Light?? Yech Budweiser isn't that great either. I think I'll stick to the microbrews I can get around here D-- The price is figured into the beer yes but what about commissions for the stock? Beer is catching up again.... rtharp
