Maybe I should have taken a more applied direction because I learned none of that at uni. My analysis so far is more along the lines of Alfred, Lord Tennyson;
“I hold it true, whate’er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have 50ed and lost
than never to have 50ed at all”.
Yes, well, this from a man who was bearded during the heyday of straight razor usage. 😉
I admit that I did not learn risk analysis while attending university, but I did realize its importance during my 12 years working at one.

The only rational choice is a Gold Dollar: Highest utility if lost, while traveling. Nash would agree!

That’s certainly one strategy to which Nash could be applied 😉
