Investing words of Wisdom for 401K Thursday:

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49. With Enron stock, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000. With WorldCom stock, you would have had less than $5.00 left. Then who would pay for your Social Security? But, if you had purchased $1,000 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 for today's seniors is to drink heavily and recycle. It's called the 401-Keg Plan.
