Some investing advice from mom

- If you had bought $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. - With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00. - With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left. - However, if you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Miller LITE (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00.
