This makes me wonder about the sanity of the world but it's funny nonetheless:

If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now 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 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00.


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

A friend of my dad cashed in $60,000 of his world com stock to buy a boat. He's a very happy camper right now. Basically a free boat.

still works there....2 years ago cashed stock and bought a 1/2 million dollar home.
Now this person has been stuck to the tune of a loss of 1/2 million in retirement and another 1/2 in stock and options.

Man is this person hurting !!
Of course this couple I know went golfing today like nothing is wrong.......amazing !! I would be a train wreck !!

Was talking to them last week smallest option they had was 14.00.......so they been stuck with out being able to sell stock for a long time.

I agree with ya Drink Beer !!
