If you had bought $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be
worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00.
With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Strohs long necks (the beer, not the stock)
one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the bottles for the 10 cent
deposit, you would have $214.00.
Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and
Recycle. This is my new retirement program; I call it my 401 Keg program.
