Luminous 0 #1 August 7, 2002 If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Enron stock you would have $16.50. If you had bought $1000.00 worth of 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, you would have about $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. 'In an insane society a sane person seems insane.' Mr. Spock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dumpster 0 #3 August 7, 2002 And, that 214.00 would buy at least 10 jumps with enough left over for MORE BEER!!! Sounds like a plan to me!!! Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrumpySmurf 0 #4 August 7, 2002 Actually, if you had snagged $1K US of Nortel Networks (NT) 52 weeks ago - you would have around $125 US to show for it. Cute analogy, none the less Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #5 August 7, 2002 You guys are depressing me with all of this Nortel talk as I am one of those blokes who is sitting on several hundred shares of that dog stock which isn't worth anything more than a few jumps and some beer now.
