Although I'm not anything even close to an economist, I think you're wrong
here... The stock market is one weird place, and one big earthquake in
Tokyo definitely could kill off most of the world's economy simply because
stock brokers panic and start selling. Once you have one person selling
like mad, others may follow leading to quick devaluation of just about
everything.
