Investment Advice

Cleaning out my inbox, I stumbled across an old joke. It's a "ha ha" thick with the panic of a man whose 401(k) is still struggling to recover, but still a "ha ha" nonetheless.

Here's some thoughtful investment analysis:

If you had bought $1000.00 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."
