This is an ironically sobering look at the perils of stock market investment investing that was recently sent to me. Although we don’t endorse the conclusion, it makes an interesting point.
“If you had bought $1, 000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00. With WorldCom, you have less than $5.00 left. On the other hand, if you bought $1,000.00 worth of Pepsi (the softdrink, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the soda, then turned in the cans for the 10-cent deposit, you would have $214.00.
Based on the above, some have chosen to drink heavily and recycle.”
