If you had purchased $1,000 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago, you would
have $49 left.

With Fannie Mae, you would have $2.50 left of the original $1,000.

With AIG, you would have less than $15 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drunk all of
the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling
REFUND, you would have $214 cash.

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

It's called the 401-Keg

Not to be technical but I really didn't know anyone actually would buy airline stock. I always kind of figured that it was just given to the employees as bonuses and then went down to nothing.

Yep, my fear is that Continental will go under before I can use all the miles I accumulated in 32 years of business travel.
