Having a longer term horizon is probably the single most helpful "tool" a guy can have when he's investing. The day to day view will just drive you nuts.

Currently -- I think the biggest problem facing the WORLD economies are the very same things that haunt most individuals. They've spent way more than they can pay for. Eventually that will come home to bite people - whether they're an individual or a government (which is just a collective of wallets).
