1998 cans at $.05/can deposit is $99.90. Still better than those other investments.

Don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but $1000.00 will buy a person approx. 333 six packs or 1998 cans of beer.

1998 cans divided by 20 cans per pound = 99.9 pounds of cans at 30 cents per pound, which comes to $29.97.

Still better than the other stock. It will just take a little longer.

Either way, drinking proves to be the solution to financial independence!!

You guys are getting ripped of at .30 a pound, currently in CA they are payin 1.25 a pound...

This gives one a new perspective on important things.....
If you had bought $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now
be worth $9.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original
$1,000.00. With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left. If you
had bought $1,000.00 worth of Bud Light (the beer, not the stock) one
year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum
recycling price, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current
investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. This is my new
retirement program. I call it my 401Keg.

I'm gonna call my better half and tell her the good news.
I wonder if she will let me pull my 401 and buy the beer.

Heres to you, Cheers.

And up here the deposit return is 10 cents a can,but then that is only 8.3 US per. derf

We have a .10 cent deposit here in Michigan. So 1998 cans of brew equals out to $199.80, or 19.8% of original investment.
