Go up one level in this thread


A little joke I received from a fellow co-op a couple months ago:


If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it
would 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.
