I've got the answer

Financial Avice in these dark times.

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 aluminum 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.
