Investing Humour

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago you would have $49.00 left.

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 of the beer, and turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214.00 cash.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

rggggg don't name it pff, our savings dropped so much, we don't even want to look anymore, just wait a couple of years and than it maybe will get better (we hope that)Bank-economics say : BUY NOW!

I guess thats what anyone can do "only" when you have some savings left?

(BTW : we just returned from our "nothing the matter" Portugal-holiday ...'as if there is no dropdownin stocks, never - ever in the intire world", but the SUN was so healingly GOOD thoug!)
