401-Keg Plan

Retirement plans have been run amuck a bit lately with all the economic crises going on…. here’s an interesting take:

• 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 Airlines stock you would have $49.00 left.
• If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing left.

BUT

• 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.

Conclusion:

The best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

This is called the 401-Keg Plan.
