If this post is offensive to anybody I will not feel bad if you have it deleted but I found it rather relevant and to the point of our situation.

Retirement Planning

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.

With a WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock, you would have $49.00 = left.


But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of wine one year ago, drunk all the
wine, then turned in the bottles for the recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.00.


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