How Should You Prepare for the Fiscal Cliff?

Updated

There is no bigger domestic issue today than the fiscal cliff, and Morgan Housel tells investors how they should be preparing.

While Morgan believes that the fiscal cliff is a very real concern for investors everywhere, he points out that if we go over the cliff in its entirety, no party benefits.
