Retirement Info!! If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago you would have $49.00 left. With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00. With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left. But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer, one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.00. Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. It's called the 401-Keg.
Thats a pretty funny way at lookn at investment Especially when you see some of those numbers and realise how dangerous the stock markey can be. I myself wish i could have bought $1000 of gold a year ago - would be happy with the return. Guess investing in any resource that diminish in time is a good bet as demand increases and supply runs low.
