Dave -

At a recent conference, heard this anecdote:

"If you bought $1,000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be 
worth $49.

"If you bought $1,000 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year 
ago, drank all the beer, and traded in the cans for a nickel deposit, you 
would have $79."

Cheers,
Dan Updegrove
