    Investing results
    If you had purchased $1,000 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.
    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 $1,000 of Delta Air Lines 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 :D
