For those of us worried about investments right now, a little advice. 
Retirement plans compared...
If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be
worth $49.00.
With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000.
With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Airlines stock you
would have $49.00 left.
If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have
nothing left.
But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year
ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for recycling,
you would have $214.
Based on the above, the best current investment advice is
to drink heavily and recycle.
This is called the 401-Keg Plan
Thought we could all use a little laugh! |
