Having seen all the posts on the state of the economy and politics recently I thought I'd throw something in to show some perspective.
Disclaimer : This is probably only funny to British domainers who know the companies named, and even then as long as you don't hold any shares in them!
If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock Bank shares one year ago, they would now be worth £4.95.
With HBOS bank - earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50
£1000 invested in doomed holiday company XL Leisure last year would now be worth less than £5.
However, If you bought £1000 worth of Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium 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. Pretty good news for most of us eh?? !!
