INVESTING FOR YOUR RETIREMENT:



If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would

now be worth $49.00.



With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.



With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.



But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of Beer one year ago, drank

all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND,

you would have had $82.80.



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

recycle.

Ouch - the pain.

As a former Nortel employee my share options are now in a sealed envelope in the attic. The last time I worked out what they were worth I was actually in negative equaty!

Bloody good fun when the telecoms market was booming though.

So that means that if they find out how many shares you have they'd demand you pay them money?

he means the shares were worth less than he still owed on the original purchase price.
darn companies and thier sell shares to the employees policies.

If you invest in Lombard you would not know what you are worth, if anything.
