One of my retired friends sent this investment advice:

If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

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

With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Schlitz (the beer, not the
stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, then sold the aluminum cans for $ .10 a pound , you would have $214.00.

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