business cycle Explanation: No, "fluctuations" are, per definition, not cyclic, but random. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2006-04-26 10:26:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The aurora and the price of gold. There are indeed many kinds of cycles. During the Sovjet era with its 5-year plans the price of gold had a delayed aurora (northern lights) dependent component. The Soviet gran harvest was influenced by sun storms and when the harvest failed the russians sold gold to buy grain. These gigantic cyclic sales caused a cyclic depressions of the gold price. The man who discovered it retired very wealthy. If we are to get more specific than "business cycle", you will have to supply much more contextual information. |
