As you fly into St Louis you cannot help but notice the imposing architectural structure known as the gateway to the west, the arch. Missouri is a state with much historical a significance. In the early 1800s President Thomas Jefferson engineered the Louisiana Purchase, and the present day state was part of the Missouri territory. It was a steeping off point for any explorations into the great unknown which was the west. The Santa Fe Trail, Oregon Trail, and the Pony Express all had their origins within the borders of the state. During the contentious American Civil war, numerous battles were raged on its lands, resulting in devastating damage and loss of life. It has the distinction of being an intersecting point for the three main rivers in the United States. Near St. Louis, the Mississippi and Missouri rivers collided, while in the southeastern part of the state, called the boot heel, the Ohio River and the Mississippi River come together. The northern part of the state has vast plains and lowlands, while in the south rise the Ozark Mountains. Over the years, many industries have grown, including beer. Budweiser was a mainstay of the local economy for decades.
In order to protect the historical plains, farms, and industry in the state, the residents understand the need to be prudent with their investments. The downturn in the economy has hit the local regions of the sate just as hard as the rest of the nation. Residents need to find a wise investment tool so they can protect their financial future.
