I would actually expect US companies with overseas earnings to do quite well this year.
Bush gave them a huge tax break to repatriate profits this year, plus the dollar crashing like falling rocks will enhance those earnings even more when the foreign currency is exchanged.
The 'biggie' IMO is the revaluation of the Chinese Yuan.
Corporations rely heavily on Chinese manufactured output and when it goes up they will get an instant cost increase kick in the pants.
The Yuan is currently locked at 8.28 and there must be some big speculation going on it since its a lock for at least the next 18 months.
Its interesting market manipulation by the Chinese Government.
The Chinese will decide when the Yuan goes up. Not the markets.
I would expect the Chinese to revalue at the worst possible moment for the US economy, since these two powers are in competition with each other and China would get an easy free shot at the US economy.

Lets talk "reality" instead of fiction ....
We are about to embark on a 10-year period in which recent tax cuts and runaway spending are expected to add $5 trillion to the cumulative deficit ....
The very reason Bush had the luxury of launching a war of necessity in Afghanistan and a war of choice in Iraq, without a second thought, was because of the surpluses built up by the previous administration and Congress. Since then, the Bush team has been slashing taxes in the middle of two wars, weakening the dollar and amassing a huge debt burden - on the implicit assumption that nothing will go wrong in the future.
But what if there is another 9/11 or war of necessity? We're cooked. The tax revenue won't be there, so the only option will be more borrowing and a weaker dollar. But what happens if the Chinese and other foreigners, who now hold over 40 percent of our Treasury securities, decide they don't want to hold these depreciating dollars anymore, let alone buy more?
It is now clear to me that we have followed the dot-com bubble with the 9/11 bubble. Both bubbles made us stupid. The first was financed by reckless investors, and the second by a reckless administration and Congress. In the first case, the public was misled by Wall Street stock analysts, who told them the old rules didn't apply - that elephants can fly. In the second case, the public was misled by White House economists, peddling similar nonsense. The first ended in tears, and so will the second. Because, as the dot-com bubble proved, elephants can fly - "provided it is not very long."

While all the talk of doom and gloom I'm able to retire 1 1/2 years earlier if I choose.
Look for the positive and you'll will find it. You're way too negative to ever see opportunity.
During the sky is falling, mooron movie and panties gates yours truly was buying up all the cheap mutual fund shares I could get my hands on and now it's paid off.
