Here a funny (I think) investment joke I received recently. I don't know if the numbers are entirely accurate and the figures look a bit dated, but you get the point.

- If you had purchased $1000 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
- With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5 left
- If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Airlines stock, you would have $49 left

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214. Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. It's called the 401-KegPlan. Check to see your company matching policy.
