The new 401K ( Archived) (3)

Given how the stock market has been responding lately,
I figure some people may enjoy this one;

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago,
it would now be worth about $49.00.
With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000.
With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left.
If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing left.

But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago,
drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund you would have $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. This is called the 401-Keg Plan.

Happy investing !

Or every time that you have a drink at home, put $4.00 in a container, which is still cheaper than bar prices. You'd be surprised how much $ there'd be in that bowl at the end of a year.
