Do the math....
If you bought $1000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it
would now be worth $49. With Enron, you would have $16. With Worldcom, you
would have less than $5.00 left.
If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of beer, drank all the beer, then turned in
the cans for the refund, you would have $214.00.
Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

That is about the 14th time I've seen that post. Don't forget that you pay for the deposit refund when you buy the cans.

The better beer value would be to buy a keg until the grand was almost gone, then take the deposit back for the tapper and keg and buy beer in a can until the money was gone. You'll get more beer by several thousand ounces. You won't have quite the return money, but hey, a few thousand ounces difference = a lot more drunk Own3d nights, so who cares!
