Cycles are pattern that repeat over a period of time. There are various cycles ranging
[21]
from weather patterns at global level to emotional cycles at individual level. When we talk of
[29]
finance a very important cycle to understand is business cycle, it is also called Economic
[37]

[47]
and economies.
[48]

[55]

[60]
But for this video we'll break business cycle into six main phases. These are: -
[67]
1. Inflation 2. Peak
[69]
3. Burst 4. Recession
[71]
5. Depression 6. Recovery
[76]
Phase 1 : Inflation
[77]
It is the period in which things look positive, there is good news every where. People are
[86]
positive about themselves and their future, thus they spend on things they love like:
[94]
- wine, women, cars, houses, etc (mostly on consumable items). This creates lot of demand
[105]
for goods and resources, thus businesses expand quickly, hiring more and more people. Soon
[115]
there is so much demand in market that it is difficult to find workers and people are
[121]
paid with higher and higher salaries which lead to increase in standard of living. The
[128]
growth is also visible on rising stocks markets, commodities, real estate, etc.
[136]
Phase 2 : Peak
[139]
In this period things looks awosome, where ever you look, its wonderfull, whatever you'll
[147]
hear, is great news, its party time (its b'day) for everyone. There is so much demand for
[157]
investments, workers, resoures that every sector of market is zooming. Stocks markets
[166]
are higher like never before, people spend lavishly on expensive wines, premium cars,
[175]
pent houses, prostitues, etc. Businesses take more and more risks with bigger and bigger
[183]
investment. They invest heavily in new ventures and pay lavish salaries to retain or hire
[191]
workers. Soon one of sectors climb rapidly and every one want to get in "once in a life
[201]
time opportunity", the prices move up so fast that they double in few days, making people
[208]
go crazy and they invest with there life savings or hefty loans. There is so much money to
[219]
be make that 'nothing can go wrong'.
