Title: Credit Crunch
Post by: Dave-C on 01 October 2008, 17:41:44

Got this on an e-mail today!

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 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.

Trouble is, all my savings are in HBOS shares, now I can't afford the Tennents..

No win situation for me ;D ;D ;D ;D
