    Lightbulb Retirement planning......

    If you had purchased R1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth R49.00.
    With Enron, you would have had R16.50 left of the original R1,000.00
    With WorldCom, you would have had less than R5.00 left.
    If you had purchased R1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock, you would have R49.00 left.

    But, if you had purchased R1,000.00 worth of wine one year ago, drunk all the wine,
    then turned in the bottles for the recycling REFUND,
    you would have had R214.00!

    Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

    Forward this phenomenal information to people you care about ...

    well I am putting as much effort into this plan as my liver will tolerate

    If I could just recycle the scotch bottles I would up my silver purchases

    that should just about fix me up

    It's good to know that even after all these years since university, my initial retirement plan is proven valid and still working.

    Good plan but I'm going to do it with beer. Aluminum at .85 a pound is worth more than glass, a case a night may pay for my next Safari.
    Enjoy life now -- it has an expiration date.

    In Queenstown, NZ, someone even built his retirement home out of the empty bottles. Now, THAT is a retirement plan (it also makes an unequivocal statement about the homeowner...)
