If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. -O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00. -O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left. -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 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. -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 Based on the above, current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. It's called the 401 Keg Plan -- no, i didn't forget the 'F's http://www.geocities.com/jerk_o2002 http://www.geocities.com/nameless_mod -My Diablo 2 Mod http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/bunny.php -My theme song

You can get them for significantly less than $2 a can, but I think it's somewhere around a buck a pound for aluminum cans with CRV.
