Invest in recycling
Someone just sent me this obviously viral email:
If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95, with HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50, £1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5, but if you bought £1000 worth of Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214.
So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.
Heh. Sadly I’m not that much of a heavy drinker so I’d be unlikely to ever generate the scale of operation required to make this scheme work for me, even if we had the same recycling incentives as the UK (i.e. British sterling for scrap).
