Stock market vs. fastfood

Just for comparison, a big mac meal costs somewhere just under $5.50 after taxes.

For about $5 you can buy a share of GM
For $4 you can buy wachovia
for $2.50 you can buy National City
For $2 you can but a share of Ford.
On the dollar menu we have fannie mae and freddie mac.

Maybe to revitalize the stockmarket, we can have drivethrough brokerages.  Or 2 for one wednesday deals on US automaker stocks.  Let's get creative.
