Subject: Fwd: Some Real Australian Facts
If you had bought $1000 worth of Qantas shares one year ago.
You would have made $49.00 today.
If you had bought $1000 worth of AIG shares one year ago.
You would have made $33.00 today.
If you had bought $1000 worth of Lehman Brothers Shares one year ago.
You would have made $0.00 today.

BUT .... If you purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all
the beer then returned the cans for recycling.
You would have made $214.00 today.
So based on above, the best current investment plan is to drink
heavily and recycle !!

AND DID YOU KNOW......
A recent study found that the average Australian walks 1440 kilometres a year.
Another study found the average Australian consumes 83 litres of
alcohol a year.

That means on average AUSSIES get 17.4 kms to a litre.

MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE AN AUSSIE. DOESN’T IT ??

this reminds me of amateur investors mentality... fact...the guy that made $49 out of Qantas still has his $1000 as well... so hence $1049...

The Aussie drank his $1000, has only $214 to show for it plus a fat as beer belly... typical amateur investor would say he made $249... forgot he spent $1000 originally cause he was probably drunk AF...
