My guess is it will be below 100 by Christmas. |

My crystal ball says "833 points".
Wait a minute... No, it actually says "Made in China". Sorry. |

You'll never go broke investing in booze and handguns and religion. Surefire bets in times of economic crisis. |

It depends on how much cash you have laying around. If you have a lot, I would begin to allocate some of it into the market. I think this recession is going to be around for a while so even at these prices, you don't want to put a big percentage in. I would accumulate slowly. |

If you had bought $1,000.00 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 MCI/Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Miller Genuine Draft (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drunk all the beer then turned in the cans for the 10-cent deposit, you would have $214.00.
Based on the above, 401KegPlan.com's current investment advice is to take that $5.00 you have left over and drink lots and lots of beer and recycle.
