Stella, the king of beers
I discovered a post on Lonely Planet’s Thorn Tree that mentioned Stella, the Belgian beer that is popular in Britain.
If you had bought £1000.00 worth 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 £1,000.00 worth of Stella one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the bottles for a 5p deposit, you would now have £107.00.
Based on the above, current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

I used to go to France once a week ( I’m from the UK ) and pick up large bottles of red wine and 28 pack cases of Stella for about $6, a pretty good deal I thought.
