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 Beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling price, you would have $214.00.

Based on the above, current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg Plan

I've seen this before and it's still funny. Unless you invested in nortel or enron, in which case it is tragic.

If $10.00 worth of beer nets you $2.00 in aluminum, I want to know where you do your recycling!!! [Funny story anyway]
