Looks like a pretty good analysis to me [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

That is crazy who would have ever thought two of the largest companies would be worth some beer cans.

I can add one to that list, Williams Energy.

That is why I visit the board. Sound investment advice.

I think I'll invest in the aluminum too!!!!! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]

Hey guys not only can we invest in aluminum, but at the same time build those biceps curling those 12 ounce cans [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

U know...after being taken to the cleaners on my 401K & everything else I have, this makes a lot of sense. Mallardchaser - save those cans from that six pack I bought you earlier - I'll be needin' em back....empty of course!

According to 'Modern Portfolio Theory', you never put all of your eggs in one basket. Diversify.

That's why i have started selling a "Beer Portfolio".

A typical conservative belly-growth portfolio needs to be balanced according to 20% in Coors, 30% in Budweiser, 10% Heineken (overseas exposure), 20% Miller Lite (to slow the belly-growth down), and 20% in Bush (a little junk to be aggressive)

For optimum performance, the portfolio needs to be administered by a Hooter's Girl or two depending on the size of your previous investments in this area. But this is strictly optional, depending on your risk tolerance & ability to handle pain. (the spouse could inflict some serious damage here). [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

think twice about Alcoa and Reynolds... they have always been a favorite of steady investors.....
