If you had bought $1,000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have $42 left. With Lehman Brothers, you would have $6.60 left. With Fannie or Freddie, you would have less than $5 left.

BUT, if you had bought $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund, you would have had $214.

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