beer and buy and hold

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.
 
Where's Pretorian2? This post is his since he is the heavy drinker on the board. LOL

Thanks,

helps put things into perspective.

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....
 
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. :cool:
 
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....
