Tile Installers Retirement Fund

[JTG]

Just a thought:



If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be
worth $49.00. :(

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1000.00. :mad:

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left. :noid:

If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left :tongue:

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the
beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, You would have
had $214.00. :loaded:

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and
recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg Plan :rolleyes:

Jerry, I've contributed to that plan for years, and I fully recommend it. I can't seem to make any money at it, though. I like bottled beer. :D

But if you'd have invested your thousand bucks in Makita one year ago today, you'd have $1555.00 left today. :shades:

And that would buy a lotta beer. :D

[Westie]

and if you had invested in $1000 in Mechel Open Joint Stock Company (MTL) a year ago you would have $3791 today. Then you could buy afford to come to Canada and buy really good beer. :lol2:

Here in Michigan we have deposit on cans, bottles both glass and plastic.. each is worth 10cents.

[ddmoit]

Ken,

That program almost works if you buy your all beer in Indiana. Of course, that would be illegal. :shades:

[cx]

Well, OK, Westie, if you wanna ruin Jerry's perfectly good beer thread..........I'll help ya. :yeah:

But I was tryin' to at least pick an industry-related stock, whereas you selected a Russian coal company. Now what's that got to do with tile? :shake:

And your weak attempt to link it with allusions to allegedly superior Canuck beer ain't likely to bail you out, neither. :D



That was a nice little stock gamble, though, if you actually bought some. :)

[KenH83]

Dan,

I cans that are purchased in Indiana these days are different than cans in Michigan.. In Grand Rapids all stores that refund cans/bottles, have machines.. I was in indiana a few weeks ago and got some pop, and meijer (grocery store) rejected the cans..

[river-wear]

OK CX, if you bought $1000 worth of Anheuser-Busch stock a year ago, it'd be worth $1,142 today. But you guys probably drink better stuff than Budweiser...

:D

So you're STILL better off drinkin' it!

[cx]

Now, see, Michele, that's relevant! :D

But, truth be known, my mom doesn't let me drink any of that stuff any more, so I can't really testify about the current quality. :(

Sounds like the quality of the stock is OK, but certainly not anything ol' Westie would be interested in, even if he liked their product. :shake:

[Westie]

Now what's that got to do with tile?

Since when did the mud box have anything to do with tile?

And MTL is actually a steel company that also mines coal and has its own shipping ports.

And yes I did buy almost 800 shares of MTL but only about 6 months ago, so its only doubled and not tripled (yet).

Here are a couple more I bought a while ago: PBG.TO (better than MTL even) and VIP. I hope to drink lots of good beer when I retire. :lol1:
And speaking of beer have you ever tried Russian beer? Its quite good and you can even return the empty cans from it at the bottle depots here.

[SteveVB]

an oldie but still funny- NT is the only co still around and if you bought $1000 a year ago it would be worth $630 bucks - still not doing very well. :deadhorse

Aluminum has gone up in the mean time :clap1:

[Dave Taylor]

Westie is pushin' commie beer???? :wtf: :suspect:

I heard that a Ruschinsky beer outfit had taken over America's Bisquick company and that they now manufacture a beer product called Pissquick.


A large part of my retirement fund plans is based on a-winning the lottery.

Pissquick

:rofl:

[Westie]

Just an update for you CX, MTL is now at $149 up 60% since I told you about it 4 months ago.

I'm going to be drinking a lot of good (Canadian) beer for a while. :lol1: :lol1: Except for next week, I'll be drinking Rum on the beach in Varadero. :yipee:
