    Well...about 5 year ago, my wife and I each put a couple grand into individual ROTH IRA accounts.
    They are almost back up to their original value...

    In doing some research I see that if I had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would
    now be worth $49.00.
    With Enron, I would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.
    With WorldCom, I would have had less than $5.00 left.

    But, if I had purchased $1,000.00 worth of Beer one year ago, drank it all, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, I'd have $214.00.

    Drat. I should have known. I knew beer was a good idea.
    (sigh) I reckon its time to make a withdrawl from the bank so I can make an investment. ;)

  2. Yeah, the guy makes me laugh :D
     
  3. Haven't finished the book yet so I haven't starting investing the few pennies I have saved :(
     
  4. I know the feeling. IF I didn't have my house I wouldn't have much for investment at all.
     
  5. BOOOOOYAAAAAAAAAA!
