The Web site Investment Pirate says beer might be better for your bottom line than many stocks you could have purchased in the past year.
For example, it says if you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock a year ago, you would have $49 left. And if you took the same $1,000 and bought beer, drank it and turned the aluminum cans in for a recycling refund? You would have $214 in cash.
Anyone else out there have any fun investment advice?

Whoa! Sounds like funny numbers to me. For every $5.00 six pack of beer I buy I will get back $1.00 from selling six cans? 12 cans? Still it’s an interesting enough question that I will try it.
I called a local recycling place, and they said you get something like 69 cents a pound for cans. Think they pay more where that was written? Anyway, it still might pay better than putting the money in your mattress.
Some locales have a ‘bottle bill’ that requires a deposit per can or bottle.
