Bwahaha. My friend worked for WebVan (formerly HomeGrocer) and was jazzed
about stock options. Worth $40/share when he bought them, worth
6cents/share one year later when it was pulled off the market. (thats from
$1000 to $1.5)

Ok...it's slightly off topic...but still funny. ;)

Subject: Stock Market Jitters

Some advice from a friend:

If you bought $1000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now
be worth $49.

If you bought $1000 worth of Coors (the beer, not the stock) one
year ago, drank all the beer, and traded in the cans for the nickel deposit,

you would have $79.

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.

Dak Content: I drink Coors on weekend BBQ's while working on the truck. ;)
