I think if I saw footage of myself in a state similar to this, I would join AA. If you have footage of me like this, destroy it.

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:

You should probably pull over and check it out.

Watch it a few times.

This is the Joint Strike Fighter, aka F-35, taking off and landing vertically. This was developed as a shared asset between several nations like Australia, Israel and Japan. You can see a long list of similarities with the American F-22 which was also developed by Lockheed Martin. The major difference is that the F-35 uses a standard afterburner while the F-22 has dual afterburning turbofans with thrust vectoring. You can sort of see the vectoring mechanism in the early part of the following video.
