If you had invested $1000 in Nortel stock one year ago, you would now be worth $49.00. With Enron you would not have $16.50 left from your original $1000 investment. If you had invested in WorldCom you would have less than $5.00 left. If you had invested $1000 in Delta Air Lines you would be worth $49.00. If you had invested in United Airlines you would have nothing left of your $1000. BUT, if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, consumed all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund, you would have $214.00. Based on the above information, the best current advice is to drink heavily and recycle. This is called the 401-Keg Plan.
I think the name of this plan is a misnomer. If you are drinking canned beer then why is it called the 401-Keg Plan?
