Thought for today

[70's Mike]

If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95,

Investing the same in HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50.

 

And £1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5.

 

HOWEVER, if you bought £1000 worth of Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214.

 

So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.
