Abstract
Let X1, ..., Xn be arbitrary non-negative independent random variables with respective expected values at most one. We sketch but do not prove an equivalent conjecture to Feige's Conjecture , where is the expected value of the sum of the random variables. We show by a simple example how this inequality finds use in mathematical finance.

4 pages. In v1 I claimed a proof of Feige's Conjecture. The proof, however, was flawed
