Default You must be a poker player

You know what EV means.

For those who still dont get it -- we are not talking about the opportunity to become rich -- we are talking about the relative likelihood across the population.

I think it is an interesting question, specially if the likelihood of become bankrupt is growing relative to the likelihood of becoming "rich".

I suspect (but dont have hard data) that with the health care issues, the abundance of debt, and the likelihood for this average person to be outsourced, the numbers may be troubling -- to some.

The opportunity to get "rich" in America is still better than the same opportunity in Asia and Africa.
