Retirement

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

With Fannie Mae, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000.

With Bear Stearns, you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Freddie Mac stock you would have $49.00
left.

If you had purchased Lehman Bros., you would have nothing left.

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 $214.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily
and recycle. This is called the 401-Keg Plan.
