On the lighter side.....

If you bought $1000 of Nortel stock a year ago, it would now be worth $49. With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1,000. With WorldCom, you would have less than $5 left.

Now, if you bought $1,000 worth of Heineken (the beer, not the stock) over the past year, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling price, you would have $214.
Based on these figures, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

This is my new retirement program. I call it my 401Keg.
