Sound Financial Advice

[oops99]

Some solid financial advice ... after all, you have to think about the future.

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $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 $1,000.00 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 $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 $214.00.

Based on the above analysis, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

This is called the 401-Keg Plan.

oops99, I found a foolproof way to double my money.
Fold all my bills in half.

I like the beer idea better.

I know a lady who converted her pension fund to gold a few years ago and has doubled her money (or maybe it's the US dollar that has lost 50%).

The beer can idea sure beats my portfolio at the moment.
