If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95,
with HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50,
£1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5,
but if you bought £1000 worth of Carlsberg Export Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £ 21.14 .
So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.

Excellent!!

average beer can weighs 15gms.....

last year 24 cans of export cost about £ 25 , which is about 960 cans.

This is just under 14.5 kg of aluminium. At today's scrap prices it would net you £ 7.25.

Bit of an echo around here!!

.....but i'll take the advice anyway!!

But if you have £100,000 spare. Buy my barn, spend £40k turning it into a house and then sell it in two months for £180,000.
Anyone interested?
Or buy my current house AND the barn, convert the barn and sell both!
If you buy both, you can side step the planning permission, then sell them both when you've finished!!
So, that's, £350,000 for both. The barn will still be worth £180,000 and the house was valued in 2005 at £244,000. Even if the house has only increased by £6k, the combined total for both would be £430,000. A healthy profit I'm sure you'll all agree!!

How would you be in a fit state to negotiate after 960 cans
