If you had bet $ 1,000 in January ..that Mitt Romney would be the Republican Party nominee for President,
you would have $ 2,540 on August 31 , no beer or re-cycling needed . Told you Repubs that back in January ( any takers ?). Show me a man who says he never gets a break , and i’ll show you a man who never takes a chance . I’m just a liberal punter, but I do know how to maximiize my short term investments . I woudn’t recommend repeating that bet on that particular horse on Nov. 6 ,though . Buena Suerte, amigos y amigas . : )

Momento: No estoy seguro de que esta elección será de la suerte, pero la presciencia, la previsión, la visión, el conocimiento y la especulación.

En la medida en que puede prescindirse de la ideología, e ignoran los medios de comunicación (y Joe Lyddon), todos vamos a estar mejor.

Si.

Moment – you could actually have made that bet in Vegas…..they have the odds and bookmaking for just about any outcome of anything happening if you were willing to give them a wager.

So did you make any money on your prediction?

@ DrDirt , When Mitt reaches the delegate number needed , or accepts the Nomination on Aug 30 , I will be very happy . Not $ 2,540 happy , but happy enough . I don’t let ideology interfer with making money ! If politics teaches anything , that is one obvious lesson to be learned from politicians . Right ,Neil ? : )

“The average American drinks 22 gallons of alcohol per year and walks 900 miles per year”

Is that over and back to the toilet?

-- A family man has photos in his wallet where his money used to be.

finaly, investment advice that makes since.

of course I probably drink twice as much and walk half as much, so I’m the SUV of americans at 20 miles per gallon.

...and a math genius to boot! ;-D

Twice of 22 gallons is 44 gallons.
Half of 900 miles is 450 miles
450/44 = 10.2 mpg

But point made/taken.

The Hummer of Americans perhaps?

your right, I double the gallons and halved the walk, but only halved the equation. I’d better have another beer.

That joke worked better in 2009, because if you invested $1000.00 in Delta a year ago, you would have made ten percent on your investment, on AIG about two percent, and Lehman Brothers you couldn’t really call that an investment last year. May sixth 2009 the DOW was at 6626 today 13204.
Doesn’t mean that I am not investing in beer though, but when I do it’s in bottles so I miss out on the return from selling the aluminum. I guess you could say, that when it comes to investing in beer, I am more of a short term return guy.

-- Mel,

Two other benefits neglected to be mentioned. The size of the corporation can grow 25-50% in just a few years and when beer is in the fridge, your company just grows and grows :)

-- There is little that is simple when it comes to making a simple box.

If only I could get 21% of my beer money back by recycling.

Ha! We get the same mileage out of Moxie here in Maine.

How about Apple stock. In 1996 they were on the verge of bankruptcy…. about $12/share. What is it now $600 or so? yesterday they posted another blockbuster quarter. Sold 40 million iphones in 4 months. Analysts predict it to be the first Trillion dollar company in about a year. I specifically remember thinking about buying stock in the late 90’s… never did. Now that’s mileage!
