Tsakos Energy Navigation prides itself on managing risk.

The firm eagerly points to its streak of 42 profitable quarters as proof it can overcome pitfalls that can hit a cyclical industry such as oil and gas shipping.

Good thing, because the firm is about to get all the risk it can handle.

On Wednesday, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said China would take steps to cool its overheated economy. The news sent stocks -- especially basic materials and related stocks -- and commodity prices tanking.

It's easy to see why. China has ramped up domestic growth to levels not seen in nearly a decade, with 9.7% GDP growth in Q1. Loosened government controls and sizzling demand have sparked a construction boom that's seen China build, on average, one Houston a month.

A slowdown in that growth, especially given the lofty earnings and stock price estimates that Wall Street has built into materials stocks, could prove painful.
