Not only that, but you can gauge where we are now (and therefore what’s coming next) by looking at signals out there in the world. For example, are you seeing more and more cranes as you walk around town, and prices seem to be taking a bit of a dip after a few years of slow and steady growth? Then you could surmise that we’re well into the recovery phase, and you can strap yourself in the explosive phase yet to come.
