Oct. 24: Stock Market Crash

[Swanny]

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 Stella Artois one year ago, drank it all,
then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get
£214. So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is
to drink heavily and re-cycle.
