A bit of statistics I got over email. If you've invested last year 1000 euro in any of the following, here's what your current capital would be:

Northel Networks                 -   59 euro
Lucent Technologies           -   70 euro
Alcatel                                  - 170 euro
Beer (as in the drink)          - 380 euro (from recycling the bottles/cans)

Somehow I tend to believe it...
