A good investment

Heard this one today:

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 Coors (the beer, not the
stock)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.

I heard that one a couple years back, but I forget what the bad luck companies were at the time (and I think the beer was Bud - LOL)

Still holds true
