My retirement plan

My Retirement Plan

If you had purchased $1000.00 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 $1000.00.

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

If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines stock........
you would have $49.00 left.

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.

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

It's called the 401-Keg Plan.

Hey Roy,that's my plan fit to a "T" can't go wrong as long as you stay home while you are investing[8D]

Has to be a better plan than the one I used. I forgot the cost of living increase.

On the other hand, if you would of bought a $1000 worth of Microsoft when it was introduced, you would be a millionair.

Or just add the free Google toolbar to your browser and add the spell-checker.
Then, use the saved money to buy the beer

It won't work for me. I don't drink beer.

Yep. That's how I got where I am today. A master at buying high and selling low. [:0][]

I am using this exact "pre retirement" strategy now.....4 more years of teaching Middle School and then I will be hanging with you Big Dogs!

If you had bought $1000 worth of MS 10 years ago, it would be worth about $2000 more or less today.

If you had bought $1000 worth of Apple 10 years ago, it would be worth in the neighborhood of $35,000 today.

Buying $1000 of Apple 10 years ago required large spherical brass objects. Who knew the IPOD would be such a big hit?
