Will an American company top the Forbes Global 2000 in 2009?
Current forecast: 71% chance 
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 71% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)

Technology, energy, and pharmaceutical stocks keep going up when all others are going down. Some of the world's leading companies in those sectors are american, but can they survive being in the eye of the storm?
