This time let's change the rules a little.  This time only the $8000 box is shown.  It looks something like this....

Now which box will you choose?
 
The answer is also obvious - you would choose the $8000 box. 

Why? 

Because the chance of increasing your winnings is not worth the risk of choosing an amount substantially less, unless of course you are a gambler, in which case, you are probably at the wrong website, and should be here instead.

With the stock market average consistently beating 75% to 85% of all mutual funds, it is a testimony to the gargantuan advertising budget of the financial industry that so many investors forego a sure thing of the $8000 box in search of something better. 

While you're at it, do you feel lucky?

Go ahead, make your day.
