The Right Way To Invest In A Bear Market

I have just been sent the following:
If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock stock one year ago, it would be worth £4.95 today.
With HBOS, you would have £16.50 left of the original £1000.
With XL Leisure, you would have less than a fiver.
And if you had purchased £1000 of Seguro Air Lines stock, you would have a measly 49p.
However, if you had purchased £1000 worth of Tennent's Lager one year ago, drank the lot of it, then re-cycled the cans at an aluminium plant for a cash refund, you would have £214.
And so, based on the above information, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. :beer:

This is at least the third time this has been posted in the last 3 days. Funny first time but its getting boring now.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0

Of course if you'd bought £ 1,000 of InBev (the brewers of Tennents) stock 12 months ago it'd be worth £ 833 now
