mimid Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 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 the10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above information, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
