With Enron, your $1,000 would be worth $16.50. With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, then urned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
