WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
my favorite post all year.. thanks everyone for answering.. i know it was sort of dumb!..
Seriously thanks for the answers.. i asked for you rhelp because people like to help rather than just answer a brain teaser..
obvioulsy i do not have a steak sauce, but mega had it right the first time!
I read about tobasco and the CFO came in and made the opening 25 % bigger and walla sales increased 25 % more!
I also liked the idea of making the bottle 25 % smaller just like all the rat bsterds at the ice cream companies.. hard to find a real half gallon these days!!
how does it pertain to trading? Everyone's answers were right and may have gotten me to the 25 % increase, but we all went about it in different ways.. soem better than others but in the end maybe all of them would have worked.
Point: the main goal in trading is to make money. The problem is everyone has different ways of going about it. NO one has the absolute correct answer.. myabe we could combine a few answers and get better results or worse.. the market for steak sauce might change then all the data is screwed.. the stock n futures markets are always changing .. you know this, but thik about trading parallels in your everyday life and business and see if the market doesn't start to make more sense to you.. keep it stupid simple and you will get it right.
Thanks again!

How did you do it?
You set up an offshore company that bought your product and then you collected the bet you made with a competitor that you would increase your sales. Obviously, the bet was much bigger than your expense and you made money.

this thread proves also that on ET you never know truth from fiction.
it also shows that people are willing to add 2 cents evenwhen the gig is up.
