Rajiv Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago you would have $49.00 today! If you purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG you would have $33.00 ... If you purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers you would have $0.00 today. But, if you purchased $1,000 worth of beer, drank all the beer, turned in the aluminum cans for recycling, you would have $214.00

punjabi_khota Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 ^ I think the joke is old, and as it mentions Lehmann, obviously means it is talking about pre-2008 and post 2008 crash times (There was no Lehmann in 2010). E.g. AIG was trading at 1000 in 2007/08 and dropped to 30 after crash.
