Many consumers seem to have been influenced by stock-market swings, which investors now view as a necessary ingredient to a sustained boom.Diners might see an upside, too. Getting a table at Manhattan’s hot newAlainDucasse restaurant used to be impossible. Not anymore. For that, Greenspan &Co. may still be worth toasting.
