| thank you all for your vote and the great discussion. I learned a few new things. We can state that the people who also voted for option3 did a forward-looking choice. | |

You meant "
made a forward-looking choice".
But, really, those who said Choice 3 did not "sound right" or that you cannot have two gerunds in a row (or a progressive verb followed by a gerund) did not give a grammatical explanation. They were basing it on their usual choice of words and what they are used to hearing - which is not ALL that is correct in the English-speaking world.
