In light of the stock market and Davenetics new retirement investment strategy mentioned here Wednesday of taking the Giants and the points, Jeanne sends along a complimentary tactic:
If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock, it would now be worth $49.00.
With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000.00.
With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left.
But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drunk all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
It’s called the 401-Keg Plan.
I live in a state where there’s no beer can deposit. Once again, Kentucky law limits the investment options of its citizens.
Line of the day, so far.
