Greek Chat Economics

This might work for some of our GC members...

Sound Investments.

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.

Now, if you had bought $1,000.00 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, the best investment advice is to drink heavily and
recycle.

Naw, just buy the Anheuser Busch stock.

When the economy is crap; people still buy beer and cigarettes!

as you all know, the stock market has not been in the greatest
shape lately. It seems that, because of current economic conditions,
many companies are contemplating mergers and acquisitions.

Here are a few to keep an eye on:

~Xerox and Wurlitzer
(They're going to make reproductive organs)
~ W.R. Grace Co., Fuller Brush Co., Mary Kay Cosmetics, & Hale Business Systems
(The new company will be called Hale, Mary, Fuller, Grace)
~ 3M and Goodyear
(The new company will be called MMM Good)
~ John Deere and AbitibiPrice
(The new company will be called Deere Abi)
~ Denison Mines, Alliance, and Metal Mining
(The new company will be called Mine All Mine)
~ Grey Poupon and Dockers Pants
(The new company will be called Poupon Pants)
~ Knott's Berry Farm and the National Organization for Women
(The new company will be called Knott NOW)
~ Zippo Manufacturing, Audi, Dofasco, and Dakota Mining
(The new company will be called Zip Audi Do Da)
~ Motorola and Enron
(The new company will be called MORON)

I'll take 1000 shares of Moron to add to the considerable amount I received at birth.
