Re : "US housing market crashes ... US consumer stops buying ... etc." ............................... You left out : People wander the (ill-repaired) streets, crawl under a rock, but watch TV on their high-end CDMA wireless handsets (with MediaFLO). (And, pay their monthly bill to the wireless service provider.) Jon.

I notice you left off H5N1 kills quarter of the world's population. I agree. H5N1 has missed the market again this northern winter flu season so will have to try again next year: < US housing market crashes. US consumer stops buying. World economies plunge. Oil and commodity prices continue to rise, driving inflation. World stock markets plunge. QCOM executes flawlessly in 2006, but it really doesn't matter for those seeking absolute returns.......> NZ housing market could crash and that could be the butterfly that launches a 1987 style implosion which was very serious in NZ though it passed like a blip in the USA. Japanese loans are large to NZ [small in absolute terms] and that could tip the balance and provide the linkage to global reverberation [we are all connected these days] though Japan is robust so unlikely.
