Americans will finaly be able to afford some decent shares when this happens and they will buy like crazy knowing that the dividend is now proportional to the price!

The companines selling stock now are just holding on to this capitol and collecting interest since the money raised through selling shares far exceded their operational needs. They will not be hurt by falling prices of their stock!
Decreased confidence in the American economy by foreign markets makes it much more difficult for American companies to raise the capital they need, which has an even worse effect on the US economy.
