Sorry, I couldn't resist. We need a bit of humour in times like this.
Here are the stats:
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 $49.00 left.
But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer/wine one
year ago, drank all the beer/wine, then turned in the cans/bottles for the aluminium recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment advice is
to Drink heavily and recycle.
