Bar Stool Analysis

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago you would have $49.00 left.

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

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund, you would have $214.00 cash.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. It's called the "401-Keg Plan."

Here's the idea: a recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found Americans drink, on the average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon. This should improve your fitness level, drive down the cost of oil, promote recycling, clean up the environment, and reduce global warming.

Dear Valued ClickFORMS User
As you may know, we experienced some technical difficulties with our Internet connectivity this past week. We pride ourselves on our services and quick response to customers. Unfortunately, we were hampered in our efforts by third party network failures. Their technicians responded quickly and in working with our staff we were able to work through the issues and restore connectivity fairly quickly.

We are taking steps to improve the redundancy of our internet connection. Additionally we are developing a contingency plan should something like this ever happen again. And we pledge to keep you better informed should issues of this nature arise again.

We truly appreciate your patience and patronage and sincerely apologize for any inconveniences you may have experienced this last week.
