Goals for the new year!

As you may know, 2012 is the widely predicted year of complete economic breakdown.  Even if things don't collapse entirely there are a few very serious roadblocks in terms of debt, spending, and available capital that will have to be dealt with during the course of the year.

Potential Roadblocks:
- FOMC rates and stimulus decisions:  they've pledged to keep rates low until 2013, but what happens when that's not enough?  If a bear market hits the US pressure will be put on the fed to create stimulus, and if it doesn't, it could easily trigger the next great depression.

- Elections: the market may react quite negatively depending on who gets elected.

- Potential debt ceiling issues
