Leave lamentations for the unwise who didn't foresee the storm and the foolish who foresaw it but did not act.

If this is the way things are, how can we make this good for us?

Invest in foreign countries. India, China, and Brazil are good places to start.

This is impossible for me because I don't have any money, but I think you'd have to be insane to invest a large amount of savings in the US stock market.

I'm making this off the top of my head, but:

What if you borrowed money to start a company and used it to short the American stock market?

The American stock market isn't going to go down, it should keep going up, but it will be losing value because it is denominated in the USD and the USD is falling.
