Windows 7 - Retirement Plan

whs · 01-08-2012

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 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.

I am passing this information on as a public service . . . there is no need to thank me.

WHS,
No wonder you won't send me a bottle of wine.....You think I will drink the bottle and re-cycle the wine.

I drank it myself. Had a nice Vouvray today with lunch which was chicken in Roquefort sauce (where you use the Vouvray too).

Personally, I'll keep the $1000 and skip the wine (wine is foul tasting) so I'll still have my grand a year from now! (Of course inflation will take its bite)

Strollin,
Keeping the grand for what?
Eat, drink and be happy today......Who know's what tomorrow brings.

And in the process you have no fun at all.

Good wine is nectar - no better than nectar it's wine. Actually I think wine can be a good investment if you don't drink it.

Don't you love the long term stockmarket trends financial planners trot out. Of course they always get their cut no matter what.
