Sound investment advise - How to survive the recession.....

I am reliably informed that 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 aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £21.40.

So, based on the above data the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle, and sit this reccession out in total oblivion.

Maybe, but you would need to take great care and not go into liquidation
