    If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago you would have $49.00 left. With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00. With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left. But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214.00 cash. Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. It's called the 401-Keg Plan.

    A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found Americans drink, on the average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon. Makes You Proud To Be An American doesn't it!

    That was pretty good. lol

      TimBob is not the only person on IWS that "hides" when they are online thare are 12 to be exact. So you have a 1 in 12 chance the "hidden" member is TimBob. I do know that when he is online he does not always look at every post made.

        FYI Scott talked to my economics professor and he said dont invest in the stock market unless you dont need to pull the money out for 5 years as of now. He said it will be at least 2-3 years before everything gets back to normal but could be up to 5 years

              He put his money in some low risk stuff last week, but the damage has been done already.

                  I appreciate the heads up Luke as it turned out I got busy and was actually in Lima today for an issue at Ford Engine Plant and could not make my call to my POS, I mean Broker. The stock I am chasing after fell pretty hard today and I am about to save a shit load on this play. I will probably wait one or two more days (really have to gauge this move) and then pull the trigger.

                  This investment is strictly a long term play only for me.

                    I've managed to save two thousand bucks thanks to overtime work and freelancing. It was hard and of course I don't want to waste the whole sum. I believe that money should be spent to achieve your dreams. Mine is to buy a cool and professional digital camera since I want to become a wedding photographer. Unfortunately, the camera itself is quite expensive. But it also needs additional gear like this one https://geeklah.com/best-wireless-flash-trigger.html. I hope at least a hundred bucks will be safe when I am done my shopping. But it's a dream of dreams, so I won't regret to spend the money this way.

                      To be honest ... I can't save money . It was always hard for me to do it that's why I always take loans..
                      Only in New York there are some cases when people are fooled by banks and credit companies ... I don't want to go bankrupt.

                        To be honest, I rarely save money. Usually this applies only to holidays and big purchases. If I have money, then I try to spend it profitably for me. For example, go somewhere on the weekend or make bets or play in the casino. This is a good way to relax for me, because it clears my mind. I often play free slots, I find offers from casinos on this portal https://australianfreeslots.com/ . There you can choose a casino with a good reputation and find bonuses for new players. It helps me avoid scammers. Sometimes I play for money, in which case I win, I try to spend this money on something pleasant, such as a picture or a board game, those purchases that aren't planned by my family budget.

                          Today it's not easy to trick ordinary people because they know that there is a good service in New York https://cmcreditlawyers.com/identity-theft . They always do it at a breakneck speed, I know some friends who were in debts but after they asked for help the interest rate that they paid was changed ! That's amazing.

                              I currently have no savings because I lost my job. So I had to take a small cash advance at payday loans in nc before my evil boss pays me the final allowance. And I really envy you guys. How can you save money in this economy? I don't know. I am now learning gambling and betting techniques so I hope this will help me. But no, I am not naive, the headhunters offered me a new job already.

                                I decided to invest all my savings in sports betting and make a fortune on it. At the moment, I believe that toronto blue jays is the best team of the century. Have you seen how they play the latest games, give advice to look at them better? I myself once played like them and was a professional baseball player.
