I have had to adjust! by smcbride :: NR6

My Apple is up and its down!

I purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it is now worth $49.00.

My WorldCom, has less than $5.00 left.

I purchased $1000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock, I have $49.00 left.

My United Airlines, has nothing left.

But, I did purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all

the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund, I got $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice I have for V and the boys is to drink heavily and recycle.

THIS IS CALLED THE smcbride401-KEG PLAN
