Canny investment advice
Friday 26th September 2008

If you had purchased £1,000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago, it would now be worth £4.95.

If you’d bought £1,000 worth of shares in HBOS, this week your investment would have been worth £16.50.

If you’d plumped for £1,000 invested in XL Leisure, your shares would now be worth less than £5.

But if you bought £1,000 worth of Stella Artois one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214.

So clearly, the canniest investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle. Cheers – and if you can improve on this, let us know. Have a good weekend.
