Retirement accounts
« on: February 01, 2008 - 07:54:39 AM »
If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

 

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1000.00.

 

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

 

If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $79.00 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 - -

REFUND, You would have had $214.00.

 

So, based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

 

It's called the 401-Keg Plan.

You'd also have forgotten about how much you spent to get to that point.

Of course, you'd probably blow the $214 on more beer...  :)
