A New Retirement Account

This gives one a new perspective on important things.....
If you had bought $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.
If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser (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, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and
recycle.
This is my new retirement program. I call it my 401Keg.

"Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right - a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world." -- Abraham Lincoln, 1848
