Just imagine...
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Qantas one year ago,
you would have $49.00 today!
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago,
you would have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago,
you would have $0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all
the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund,
you would have received $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.
A recent study found that the average Aussie walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found that Aussies drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means that, on average, Aussies get about 41 miles to the gallon!
Makes you damned proud to be an Aussie!
Cheers, Vince

Grow and roast your own mate. Not sure about your climate for coffee growing, but I'm sure with your smarts you can build a "tropical climate" somehow.
