A friend of mine sent this to me and I just had to share it:

If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 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 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00.

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

That's funny.......that's also my way of thinking.........well not the beer, but invest in clothes, shoes, purses and accessories.........then when I donate them to charity I get a 35% of value tax write off........this is a whole lot more than I've made over the years in investing in bad stocks......[rofl] [rofl]
