Bonner and his fellow writers at ''The Daily Reckoning'' voice strong opinions about how people can best arrange their investment portfolios to protect themselves from this predicted American decline. But Bonner, in a gesture of [[humility]], will usually add that "we don't know" what will happen in the future--that no one can predict all the unforeseen events which will shape that future.
