If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00. 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 5 cent deposit, you would have $107.00. Based on the above, some current investment advice is to drink heavily
and recycle.

Except, now you would only have about $10 worth of Nortel stock.

If I had bought Nokia 10 years ago, I'd be rich as heck.

I'd trade my wife's $20 worth of Worldcom for a couple of cases of Guiness or Bass. Any takers?

[and she wanted to buy Krispy Kreme, but her late father talked her out of it.]
