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 Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminum 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.

Ah but if you'd have kept up at the back you could have had 17 - 18 days head start on the drinking now

Maybe now is the time to buy those shares............

One of my customers called in today on his way back from the scrap merchants. He had a van full of waste ally and they wouldn't give him anything for it. Price has dropped that much!

Blimey - that's a ten-fold increase in profit in 17 days!
