Light Moments: Investment Portfolio Recommendation - Overweight Liquid Assets

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 Holidays would now be worth less than £5.

But if you bought £1000 worth of Stella Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214.

So based on the above statistics, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.
