401-Keg Plan

Retirement plans compared...

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Countrywide Financial, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000.

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

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left.

If you had purchased Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac stock, you would have nothing left (except more taxes).

But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the
beer, then turned in the cans for recycling, you would have $ approximately $50.00.

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

This is called the 401-Keg Plan.
