Thought some of you lot might appreciate this!

If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95,
with HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50,
£1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5,
but if you bought £1000 worth of Carlsberg Export Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £ 21.14 .
So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.


(this is humerous...therefore all facts and figures mentioned above may not be true!)

Nice, I like your way of thinking.

Alternatively, those who saw the rise of AIG just before they were rescued by the US Government made millions in minutes....
