A risk taker can probably argue the fact that if he punches the green he can certainly be no worse off than he is today but there is a 50% chance than he can be $100M better off in the future. A risk adverse person can argue from the p.o.v. that a bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bushes. So am I risk adverse or a risk taker? I'd say adverse in this case and invest the hell out of that $1M.
Yeah, I'd pick the one million all day every day. I wouldn't wanna be like those assholes on Deal or No Deal who don't take the money even if it's like 50 grand.
I have a question for Spanish speakers:
how come the name of the country is written Mexico but pronounced Mekhico?
Isn't the 'x' pronounced as 'sh' in Spanish? Shouldn't it be written Mejico?
