Wall Street's most bullish strategist sees the oil's plunge and the dollar's strength as positives for stocks.

"We realize investors are a bit concerned about the negative effects from a surging currency (hurting exports) but consider that strong USD is stimulative for Europe/Asia (trade flows) and also enables US companies to acquire assets cheaply."

Lee identified eight large-cap stocks that he believes should benefit the most in this weak-oil, strong-dollar environment.
