But that's so marginal! A discussion on decisions with no future

In honor of the timeless banker tradition of making merry on the hopeless flounderings of the hoi polloi, I am officially opening a new discussion entitled "But that's so marginal! A discussion of decisions with no future."

The rules are pretty simple. First, propose an answer to the question preceding yours, and then follow with another marginal brain teaser. Remember, don't forget to sign off with a "BTSM!"

And now, for the opening question...

Brown or NYU Stern? BTSM!
