Indian direct equity balances increased strongly
After declines in 2004-05, mutual fund balances recovered in 2006

Foreign direct investment may also boost the economy, however foreign investors are pulling money out of the US markets
A continued Treasury sell-off may further depress the dollar and force interest rate hikes ...
Another major terrorist attack in the US would destabilize the economy further
Market capitalization will fall worldwide as US stock markets continue their jitters
