The Retirement Plan

The 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 $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.

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

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of Beer one year ago, drunk all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling price, you would have $214.00.

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

It's called the 401-Keg Plan. :wink:

Or you could have shorted those stocks and bought yourself 50x as much beer afterwards, and still recycle the empties for more than your original $1k!

(talk about getting a beer belly!)

This is awfully familiar.

Let's hope everyone's portfolio is better then either of these options. ;)

Well, my portfolio is one that I can carry around with some of my photos in it... :?

[DancePoet]

If your "portfolio" is your business, then you are heading in the correct direction. If not, then maybe it should be? I bet you could make a "killing" from your photos.

[SDsalsaguy]

Last I checked they typically throw you in jail for doing so... besides which, I'm not a violent person by nature.

:) ... ok, I went back and put killing in quotes, and followed by "from your photos". ;)

Oh, well in that case... alas, photography is just something I do on the side. Funny how expensive both my "hobbies" are (photography and dance), huh?

Aside from taking out student loans I actually work as a TA to help pay the bills. I'd love to get a few photo gigs for some (much needed) additional revenue, but A) would need to have a bit more in the way of back up equipment (which = $ I don't have), and B) I don't have the time to pursue any leads... :( :(

thanks for the implicit compliment however! :D
