Pardon the light-hearted humor that follows,
given recent news (excepting Hawaii) I thought many folks might enjoy
this. (author unknown)

If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock
one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.
With Enron, of
the original $1,000.00 you would have $16.50.
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 5 cent deposit, you would have $107 or 10
cent deposits in MI, you would have $214.00.
Based on the
above, the most sound current investment advice is to drink
heavily and recycle.
