Evening all. DVR'd the debates, figured I see how Palin handles herself. She's not doing as bad as I thought she would, but she's good at dodging things. Not that Biden is any better.

Good Morning to all who wander by the Nebraska Chapter... TGIF!
We'll start the day off with some investment advice:
Here's how some compare...
If you had purchased $1000.00 of AIG stock one year ago, it would now
be worth $49.00.
With Fannie Mae, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000.
With Freddie Mac, you would have less than $5.00 left.
If you had purchased 1000.00 of WaMu stock you would have $49.00 left.
If you had purchased Lehman Brothers, you would have nothing left.
But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank
All the beer, then turned in the cans for recycling, you would have
$114.
Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink
heavily and recycle.

Good Morning guys! I have the furnace guy here now, seems a limit switch has gone south on me. Quick fix.
Hey, I'm going to take Rob's advice. I'll be investing heavily in Anheiser-Busch stock today, I'll purchase at least a case of their stock and consume it!!
