INVESTING FOR YOUR RETIREMENT:

----------

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.
-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O


With Enron,

you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

With WorldCom,

you would have had less than $5.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of Beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND,
you would have had $214.00.

Based on the above,

current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg Plan

...but if I put it under the mattress, I'd still have the $1,000.

If I put it into a savings account, I'd have more than $1000.

heard of an ISA?

but the 401-keg plan will make you feel really realy nice for a while.

invest in an ISA, then pay for the beer with the interest. Yeah? Same effect.

we actually made a nice profit:
1 year ago: 2500 euro in stock
now: 12500 euro, half cash, half in stock
