Title: Retirement Plan
Post by: Peddlin on October 02, 2008, 07:23:57 AM
Retirement planning...
•         If you had purchased $1,000.00 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 purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $44.00 left.
•         If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing 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 $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

This is called the 401-Keg Plan

You are all very welcome, and Noble Dreg, you might want to reconsider the bottles.

Michigan has a .10 cent deposit so I'd end up with $100 but that's still more than anything else listed!!
