"If you bought $1,000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $72. If you bought $1,000 worth of Budweiser (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." In my view, either Nortel's in the wrong business, or beer really is the backbone of this nation!"
