THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT

PAUL MENIG CEO , Business Accelerants
I ’ m not an aviation industry analyst , but I am an optimist . The Dow Jones Industrial Average has increased decade after decade somewhat unfazed by the Great Depression , two World Wars , or the more recent Great Recession and the viral pandemic ( gives new meaning to going viral ). It was under 1,000 when I was a kid and I bet it will breach 40,000 this decade .
The airline industry has similarly seen a steady growth . It ’ s clear to me that we will break through the clouds and should be looking up at clear skies with an aviation term — CAVU ( Ceiling And Visibility Unlimited ). https :// www . macrotrends . net / 1319 / dow-jones-100-year-historical-chart
