Just imagine... If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Air New Zealand one year ago, you would have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in the AA one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Canterbury Finance 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 aluminium 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 KiwiSaver-Keg. A recent study found that the average Kiwi walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Kiwis drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Kiwis get about 41 miles to the gallon!
