If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.
With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.
With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of Beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling price, you would have $214.00.
Based on the above, current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. It's called the 401-Keg Plan.

NT closed at $2.17 per share on March 3, 2003. If you had purchased 460 shares (roughly $1000) as of this morning's open price you would have made $2509.
Still fubby, though!

Besides, word on the street is that your beer doesn't come from recyclable cans.
