How I spotted demand change. I would look into the garage or parking lots and see how many cars were parked in a weekend of good weather. That meant people were staying at home. I looked how much the rods were clogged on a long weekend. That was 1979/1980 when I saw Brazil lost decade coming in. Way into the Lost decade -I was in Nigeria 1983-1991- I used to go to the super markets and see what people were buying. I saw them buying lots of carbohidrates and less meat protein. I went to the shopping malls and saw the type of clothes the shops were carrying. It was like every one or one and half years I would return and took an snapshot. There were no credible statistics since these were hyper-inflationary times. When the market is too big, as the US is, it will take a lot of changes to make the impact visible. In na analogy: if you put a straw inside a glass one suck and half of it is gone and you see. If you pout a pump inside a small lake it will take three days for you to see the water level at the margins receding down. But you know water is going out...
