In our last show - "In The Shadow of the Wave" we covered what happens when the contraction is over and the lag time between data and emotions. The earlier you start acting like an expansion has started, the easier it is regain lost revenue and pickup more market share.
Today's show covers when the expansion is apparent and everybody has jumped in; supply & demand has come to some sort of balance. EPISODE 13: CHARACTISTICS OF THE EXPANSION'S MIDPOINT Midpoint – True Value = Market Price: Supply Equals Demand with Rising Inventories and Fair Price. This location shows expansion has reached stasis – Demand and Supply are in rough balance, the current market price for a product or service represents fair value. Up to now the price / value proposition was unbalanced with products and services undervalued or not commanding a price that represents true value because of excess supply / low demand. However that is changing. Quickly Demand will Exceed Supply and drive up prices. This leads to inflation and diminished buying power of the currency. Additionally the market begins its bubble phase because the higher prices will be interpreted as a signal to make more and soon supply will exceed demand. We worry about that later. Topics
EPISODE 14: WHAT DOES A BALANCE BETWEEN SUPPLY & DEMAND MEAN? Euphoria. Good times are here again. Everybody has a short memory of the last time, but you know the bubble has started. If you got in early, now it is time to prepare the company for the downside by taking advantage of the common euphoria. Expand the business with your existing accounts with a new product or service.
