Some advice I received in an email today (not sure of the factual veracity but that's not the point...and I edited the names too):


If you had purchased $1,000.00 of  Delta Air Lines Freddie Mac stock one year ago
you would have $49.00 left.
 
With Enron Fannie Mae, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.
 
With WorldCom AIG, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

With Lehman Brothers, you'd have nothing...
 
But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank
all of the beer, and then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling for a REFUND, you
would have had $214.00.
 
Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink
heavily and recycle.
 
It's called the 401-Keg.
