...which companies and industries will shrink and which will grow.
If there's no demand for the product or service, where is the business and financial model?
The financiers don't determine what will turn a profit. They only predict what will return a profit. A market that signals growth and large profits will attract more investment. Investing in a market that doesn't return a profit is something financiers try to avoid. The market shapes the investors decisions, and the decisions shape the market.
This isn't a complaint about markets and investors, it has nothing to do with the companies or how any financiers determine the destinies of those companies.
Its about the unbearable amount of money they extract for the service they provide.
