If you bought $1000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49. If you bought $1000 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, and traded in the cans for the nickel deposit, you would have $79. My advice to you is to start drinking heavily. Yours truly, PO

Please take your less than brilliant off-topic comments (using the tax payers assets I notice) elsewhere. Thank you! Jim Groat jgroat1@midsouth.rr.com
