Stocks worth nothing

[frogurt]

Lets pretend I had some Enron stock. Are you just supposed to keep it forever? It costs more to get rid of it than it's worth.

he is referring to the physical certificates indicating ownership.

BTW, I lost 95% of my investment. I dont feel bad. I just have an urge to put money in safer investments. Like junk bonds.

I think it would cost like a thousand times it's value to order the certificates.

Let's see, I still own stock in @home and 3DFX.

Serously, I do. I am just too lazy to sell it because it would cost me $20 to sell. The 3dfx is worth like $4 total if I remember correctly.

I think everyone got it, but it isn't funny so no one commented.
