oooo

well

unless you stash it somewhere then dig it up later, the wine won't magically age on your return trip...

Like anyone knows what a hundred year old wine tastes like. People get too thirsty to wait that long.

These divers recently found a case in a old sunken ship with over 40 bottles of champaign. Each bottle was several hundred years old. Needless to say, the two divers are now filthy rich. I think the price of each bottle was equivalent to 40'000 Euroes or something. I can't remember the exact running price for each bottle, it might have been worth much more.

[EDIT]

I found the article.

230 year old champaign

ALAND ISLANDS, Finland (KABC) -- If wine gets better with age, what about champagne?

Divers found bottles of Veuve Clicquot made in the late 18th century in the Baltic Sea.

The divers were exploring a shipwreck off the Aland Islands in Finland.

It's believed to be the oldest drinkable champagne in the world, likely made between 1782 and 1788. If it turns out to be genuine, one bottle may be worth more than $67,000.

The bottle and its contents have been sent to champagne specialists in France to be analyzed.

If it were 1921 I'd buy as many bottles of the 1921 Dom Pérignon I could. And store them correctly.

90 years really isn't enough to make a lot of money. Even if you managed a constant 5% APY, you'd be around $8k.

I'd buy $8k for $100 any day

PLUS...

You could paradox for profit. So once you got to around the time when you had $100 in cash to take back, you could take back $8k instead.

I hope it doesn't for the sake of our country. Obama can still turn it around by at least extending the Bush Tax cuts.

Tax cuts won't help the economy much at this point.

Spending cuts are the answer now.

Eh... let me rephrase.

Corporate tax cuts will help, personal tax cuts won't.

While it is true that consumer spending is a huge part of our economy, it's not really feasible for us to lower personal taxation further. We're already on the low end of personal taxation.

Spending cuts are the most important because of how much debt we currently have.

the president doesn't turn shit around. People are servicing their debt right now. personal income tax rates going up or down a few points isn't going to fix anything.
