 If you had purchased 00 worth of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have .00 today.  If you had purchased 00 worth of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have .00 today.  If you had purchased 00 worth of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have .00 today.

 But---- if you had purchased 00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for a recycling refund, you will have received 4.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
