  • Which would you choose?

    Would you rather be given a guaranteed $25,000 or get a 50/50 shot of winning $100,000?

                  Actually, that's a tough one....

                  Because, either way, you lose nothing.

                  And I'm still young enough to take risks.

                  Having said that, I will still take the 25k.

                  Is there a particular reason why you are asking this? Just curious.

                    I would definately take the $25,000 and put that in a 5% CD or higher if I could find one.

                      This sounds like a Deal or No Deal question. I'd go with the guaranteed money.

                        Wow, everyone would take the 25K??

                        Ok, let's spin the question a little bit. Let's say you had to choose between LOSING a guaranteed $25,000 or having a 50/50 chance of LOSING $100,000. Which would you choose?

                          Again, would have to go with $25,000 again I would not want to risk losing $100,000

                            Sweeps, you been reading Winning Decisions?

                            I love that book.



                            It sure did get me thinking. I need to read it again.

                            I'd take the 50/50 chance at winning $100,000 - and take the guaranteed loss of $25,000.
