Here is a news story currently being run on the BBC News website (emphasis added by me). I am glad I don't trust my money to these economic experts; I hope you don't either.
Skyscrapers 'linked with impending financial crashes' There is an "unhealthy correlation" between the building of skyscrapers and
subsequent financial crashes, according to Barclays Capital.
Examples include the Empire State building, built as the Great Depression
was under way, and the current world's tallest, the Burj Khalifa, built just before Dubai
almost went bust.
China is currently the biggest builder of skyscrapers, the bank said.
India also has 14 skyscrapers under construction.
"Often the world's tallest buildings are simply the edifice of a broader skyscraper building boom, reflecting a widespread misallocation of capital and an impending economic correction," Barclays Capital analysts said.
