Up My Own Ass

A few things to consider on this fine day in this amazing economic state we’re in nowadays…

Retirement plans compared…

• 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 $1000.
• With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
• If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left
• If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing left.
• But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for recycling, you would have $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. This is called the 401-Keg Plan. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go invest in my future.
