Does there exist a C < ∞ such that [imath] \mathbb{E}[M^2_n][/imath] ≤ C for all n?

Can we use the following proposition to answer this question? If yes, how can we use it?

If no, what would be correct answer to this question?
 
I could be wrong, but I think E[X_j^2] = 4 (1/3) + (1/4)(2/3) = 3/2. Since X_j's are independent, the expectation of M_n^2 is (3/2)^n which is unbounded.
 
In general, I think it just strings together some fragments that make grammatical sense in a coherent way, . It is still a stochastic parrot, as far as mathematical logic and reasoning are concerned.
