8 major issues driving the market next 12 months
Effects of:

1) American frugality impact on exporting markets including OPEC
latimes.com

2) Downturn in Europe (Europeans are already frugal as Aldi Lidl and discount groceries store shows)

3) The collapse of the Euro Bubble (-0.2 GDP growth with a Euro at 1.5? Not realistic.)
forexfactory.com

4) Financial Drag. The continuation of the script of the housing meltdown playing on. (We're still at the end of the beginning) See Fannie Mae and Lehman Today)

5) Sudden brutal increase in unemployment (US -more flexible-already shifting people into part-time)

6) The collapse of UK housing market

7) Collapse of the British Pound (Already going down. Lower inflation outlook points to BoE interest rate cut).

8) The result of the US election

Georgia would not make my list. Perhaps only as part of the Geopolitics issues.)
