Retirement Plan

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

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. If you had bought $1,000. Worth of Budweiser (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. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and Recycle. This is my new retirement program; I call it my 401Keg. :D

Glad you are not my broker, $1K a year ago would have bought you 529 shares on NT. Today it would have been worth $5.6K.

Chill Out 'Mr. Schwab' (It was just a joke!). :rolleyes:

My advice is to spend all your money on your bike and enjoy the ride.
