How to make money out of turmoil

Michael Millar 2:35pm

This is the best financial advice I've heard all week:

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 recycle.

Oooh! that's an "alcohol message", as a public sector nosey git said on a radio 4 article a couple of weeks ago.

Just like Chris Moyles you are an evil mind programmer, glorifying excessive drinking and influencing us maleable plebs to ape your excesses.

And that, when you know none of us have two farthings for a pint of grog. What with the credit squeeze and that. Never mind the moral issue of encouraging binge drinking.

Shame on you!
