Investment Ideas!

If you purchased Rs1, 00,000 of Morgan Stanley stock 1 year ago, you would have Rs 4,900 today.

If you purchased Rs1, 00,000 of AIG stock 1 year ago, you would have Rs 3,300 today.

If you purchased Rs1,00,000of Lehman Brothers stock 1 year ago, you would have Rs 0.0 today.

But, if you purchased Rs1,00,000 worth of beer 1 year ago, drank all the beer, returned the aluminum cans for a recycling refund, you would have Rs21,400!!!

A trader: "This is worse than a divorce. I've lost half my net worth and I still have a wife."

President Bush said clients shouldn't be concerned by all these bank closings. If the bank is closed, you just use the ATM, he said.

George Bush said that he is saddened to hear about the demise of Lehman brothers… His thoughts at this time go out to their mother as losing one son is hard but losing two is a tragedy.

Why are all MBAs going back to school? To ask for their money back.

If you want to gamble, go to Las Vegas. If you want to trade in derivatives, God bless you.

Lehmann have changed their recommendation on Lehmann from hold to sell.

Forty years ago I sold fifty shares of my company stock and had enough money to purchase a brand-new 1967 Ford pickup. Last week, I checked it out, and if I sold another fifty shares, I'd have enough money to buy a
1967 Ford pickup. So, the market has stablized.
