Default Thoughts on retirement and recycling..


RETIREMENT PLANNING FOR 2008

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 $1000.00.
With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.
If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would
have $49.00 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, the best current investment advice is to drink
heavily and recycle. It's called the
401-Keg Plan.
