I received this from one of my sisters in the Netherlands, and
translated it into English.
In the Netherlands, you pay a deposit on glass bottles (wine, beer etc.)
which you get back when the empties are returned to the shop.
Investing in shares?
If you bought €1000 of shares in KPN in Jan 2006, you will now have €45
left.
If you bought €1000 of shares in Versatel in Jan 2006, you will now have
€36 left.
If you bought €1000 of shares in UPC in Jan 2006, you will now have €18
left.
If you bought €1000 of shares in Ahold in Jan 2006, you will now have
€100 left.
If, however, last year you spent €1000 on bottled beer, and in other
words drank €1000 of beer,
you will now have €390 in deposit money to come back.
So, sitting in an easy chair, watching TV all day, drinking beer, gives
you a better return than shares!
Cheers!
Invest for the future..... invest in bottle deposit money.
