Perhaps you can rationalize the performance of the financial markets... Mostly cyclical with some outside influence of artificially low interest rates and a weak dollar making the US market attractive for international investment money. And then tell me why I can't get a table at a restaurant on Friday and Saturday nights. Restaurants closing may have reduced the total number of seats so that the few remaining restaurants are full. The market ends up correcting everything in the end. Or you might just be picking the few popular restaurants. Or you may live in a community that having local economic strength Why planes are always full? I fly a lot and I would challenge this assumption. But the same thing principles apply to airlines as they do to restaurants, but in a more immediate fashion. Airlines will cancel flights if they are consistently going partially full. Thus concentrating the same number of passengers into fewer seats....and thus filling up the planes. Airlines hate flying planes with empty seats. Cars sales very high??? If true, likely just cyclical. Eventually, purchases that have been delayed because of poor economic conditions will still need to be made.
