If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would
now be worth $49.00.
With Enron, you would have $16.50 left.
With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock)
one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the nickle
deposit, you would have $107.00
Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
