I'm sure you could slip ARR in to this story but it might be best not to. No point staring unnecessarily into the abyss....
REALITY CHECK, INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVE:
If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Airlines stock one year ago, you would have $49 today. If you had purchased $1000 of AIG stock one year ago, you would have $33 today. If you had purchased $1000 of Lehman Brothers stock one year ago, you will have $0 today.
However, if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminium cans for recycling, you would have received $214 today at redemptions. Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
