Pop emailed this to me today. Thought it was funny.
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 $1,000.00.
With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of Miller (the beer, not the stock)
one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum
recycling price, you would have $214.00. If you drank the beer in the 1st two
months, recycled the cans and put the $214.00 in the bank, the additional
interest would have boosted your investment to almost $220.00.
Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and
recycle.
This is now my new retirement program, I call it my 401-Keg.
