If you would have bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, today
it would be worth $49.00. With Enron you would have $16.50 of the original
$1000.00. With Worldcom......you would have $5.00 left.

If you would have bought $1000.00 worth of Millers (the beer, not stock)one
year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in all the cans for the .10 cent
deposit you would have $214.00. Based on the above....... my current advice
is to drink heavily......and recycle!!!!!!!!!

Bought 100 shares of Va Research at 175. Now worth less than $50. Could have sold at 240.
Bought 100,000 shares of Optimens @ 50 cents a share. Could have sold at 5. Now worthless.
Bought 20,000 shares of PSCX at .60 Could have sold at 1.20. Now also worthless.

Tech stocks have not been the nicest of places to have anything. Most of my friends were in Nasdaq tech heavily also. We all lost our shirts. Sometimes, being a nerd is stupid. :)

The funny part, is when ever you talk over a fiber optic network, the little mirrors that switch the call are thingys I own alittle piece of. But the rights to that application were given away in an arbitration. So close.......yet so far...... wink

I should have started a Sell Short News letter - What ever I recomend, you sell short. Man, could have made alot of people rich..........

Two years ago I invested $10,000 under my mattress, and I still have most of it. :)

Disagree with the WorldCom. I had some but don't know what happened to it. Just shows not trading on the ticker. I think it is worth around... nadd... zilch...nothing... But who is counting.

I agree with the beer thing though. In addition to the aluminum recycling windfall describerd above, it is also the only investment that makes chicks look better as you are making the imvestment. LOL

Real investing.... I watched a penny stock for a while, would go from .33 to about 2.50 every 5 months. Was going to buy 200 shares at .33, but no, dad has to say that it will go out of business and steal my 70$...Checked on it a month after that and it was at 3.53 a share, missed an opportunity for 600$ frown

I would not spend a dime on a Miller beer product if you were paying me to!!!!
Here's Mattyboy's pyramid to success ,wealth, and happiness
take $1000 dollars buy $600 worth of Guiness,and $400 dollars on Music and food and throw a little party and invite 500 of your closest friends and tell them to bring one of their friends ask for a $5 donation for all the beer and food they can handle. 500 x 2 =1000people x $5= $5000
the next weekend buy $3000 dollars of beer and booze 2000 on entertainment and food invite the 1000 of your new found friends from last weekend and ask them to bring someone ask for the same $5 donation
2000people x$5= 10k
now if you can handle the long term investment
at the end of 2 months you've rented Madison square garden so all your friends can party with you at their own personal Aerosmith concert wink :D
you've heard of chain letters well this is a chain party scheme eek!

Math not just for pinheads anymore!
