My daughter, who just graduated college, has this as her away message on AIM.
I'm so glad that 4 years of college didn't go to waste. :?

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.
With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.
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.
