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.

With Lucent, you would have $3.50 left of the original $1000.00.

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 aluminium 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.

( the drinking heavy may not be a good idea ! )

Answer 1

Assume a can of beer is 50 cents (a nice but not unreasonable price). Thus you would get 2,000 cans of beer . Aluminum cans are worth, at most, 2 cents each. Thus, the best possible refund would only be $40. Likely not even enough to cover the cost of gas hauling the beer to your house, the cans to be recycled and electrify to run the refrigerator. Even the Lucent stock beats that and you don't need a liver transplant afterwords.
