If you had purchased $1000 of Nortel stock 1 year ago it would be worth $49.00 today
If you had purchased Enron stock it would be worth $16.50 today.
$1000 worth of Worldcom stock would be worth $5.00 today.
BUT!!!!!! if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago and drank it all, then recycled all the aluminum cans it would be worth $214.00 today. based on the above. the current investment advise would be to drink heavily and recycle.
its called toe 401-Keg plan

That was old when I read it in the newspaper, oh, two years ago?

Chuckle, though.

heh

And if I'd kept the damn $1000 in the bank, I'd still have $1000(a little more if you can count on a 0.5% intrest rate).

/me thinks perfect missed the point

Mr. Perfect, what CUDA is trying to say is that it is better to buy one thousand dollars worth of beer, get the benefits of drinking it, and then getting $214 back than to purchase one thousand dollars of those stocks, sit on it, and (at the most) get forty nine dollars back.

Yeah I got that. I'm just saying it'd be wiser to not spend it in the first place. Then again I don't drink...

Besides, you forgot to add in the costs of all the ★■◆● that'd get broken after a $1000 beer party.

Martha Stewart is up from one year ago.

...well you could always sell the kids, move to Zanzibar and then begin to take opium rectally....THAT is a retirement plan

Or you could just buy a lot of stock in Zombo.com.
