On 9/10 contraryinvestor.com had a dispatch named "2Q 2002 US Banking System Derivatives Update"

I copied and pasted only main HTML page, so charts don't come out at all. Contrary Investor is one of the best FA sites I know.

what industrial exports remain within our shores?
with all due respect, the major sector that still enjoys export from US firms is computer, networking, and information technology
sure, plenty of environmental and chemical process systems
some construction equipment and drilling equipment

but two unfortunate effects will serve as huge obstacles for a lower dollar valuation to rectify the colossal trade imbalance

much of our potential exports contain a large number of Asian components
this is especially true of our major export of IT products
this effect is so pervasive that even in the car sector, entire engines and many electronic components are straight from Japan and Asia
besides, much of what we build actually is assembled in Mexico, whose prices might actually rise also versus the buck
as the dollar declines in value, it will interesting to watch the price of our export products lag in that decline

most foreign economies are so dependent upon American markets, that they will be in recession before we are
the result will be lost demand pulling for our products
even Europe is slowing worse than the US, due to more inept economic policy that our inane leadership offers
Japan will feel much of the brunt from our slowdown
and China is gutting Japan, weakening all non-Japan neighbors

the nightmare surprise coming to those in DeptTrez and FedReserve is going to be how little the trade gap changes, as the USdollar comes down
first evidence...
since the beginning of 2002, US$ has come down on trade weighted basis from 120 to 105 now
and the trade gap has widened further to $38B/month
I expect the trage gap to widen even more as the dollar heads to parity of 100

this dual effect is part & parcel to the USDollar Crisis to unfold
as the US$ drops, eventually a profound influence on our bond market will be felt
this is part of the Vicious Cycle about to be unleashed
then you have the fiscal side, with big federal deficits coming
the Republican Congress will surely vote to spend in a more planned stimulus
before all these forces succeed in producing the intended effect, the immediate effects must be overcome
and they are a true nightmare
my expectation is for massive departure from the dollarized assets, which will create a growing panic
