| Betting against the United States economy long term hasn't ever panned out
| well for anyone, and it certainly may continue that way for some time. While
| the sky won't be falling to the ground anytime soon, as an investor, it's
| important to be cognizant of the big-scale issues our nation is facing and
| how they can have an effect on your money. Develop a sound game plan, stay
| disciplined, and be prepared for whatever gets thrown at you down the road.
