I came across this article this morning on zerohedge.com. Shipping lines are being suspended because of lack of traffic.
That's what we call not-a-good-sign.
At the same time we are seeing higher volatility in stocks, bonds getting bid up and yield compression, yield curves inverting, precious metals prices breaking out, and more.
All together it looks like the top is in, and we are just waiting on the catalyst.
I said last year that we wouldn't get out of 2019 without a crash. It's September now, so I might have been a bit off on that call.
But we are on the path for the next crash.

Based on the yield curve inverting, the crash will happen within the next 24 months, I can't see Trump let the Markets tank before than if he is running again for another term. However, I agree with you buckle your seat belt now, it's going to get bumpy from here.
Yeah, the signal of the inverted curve is pretty non-specific when it comes to timing. All these things occurring together I think shifts it to the closer end of the timeline.
I think Trump has done an amazing job of shifting the blame to the Fed for the coming crash though. He's trying to play it both ways. We'll see how it turns out!
Hi boss why you give me -upvot

Good afternoon friend, would you be so kind to explain it to me why you have given me a downvote, I am investing a lot of time on this platform, all the images, writings and poems are my own authorship and I can tell you that I have invested much more money than I have obtained, in fact I have such a negative balance in steemit, that I am using bots to see if I level off.
Could you please advise me how to recover myself without offending you to avoid these setbacks.
Greetings from México.
Buenas tardes amigo, sería tan amable de explicarme porque me ha dado un downvote, estoy invirtiendo mucho tiempo en esta plataforma, todas las imagenes, escritos y poemas son de mi propia autoría y puedo comentarte que he invertido mucho mas dinero del que he obtenido, de hecho tengo un balance tan negativo en steemit, que estoy usando bots para ver si me nivelo.
Podría aconsejarme como recuperarme sin ofenderlo para evitar estos contratiempos. Reciba un caluroso saludo desde México.
Why did I downvote a post? Because I disagreed with the rewards for the post.
That's the only reason anybody downvotes anything, whatever their rationale is to come to that step.
It's also the only reason anybody upvotes anything.
And yes, that's a subjective preference. So are upvotes. That's what the STEEM blockchain is based on. The community of voters aggregates weighted upvotes and downvotes and comes to a final result in 7 days determining how much of the newly-minted inflation is to be attributed to a post.
Does it matter how much time you spent on the post? The amount you spent on buying votes? The creativity that went into the post? Nope.
The only thing that matters in the end is whether the community of voters, including myself, thinks it should get receive more inflation or less inflation than is currently scheduled for a future payout.
As for what authors can do to avoid downvotes? This is general advice, and not tailored to your particular post:
Engage more with the community of people that are interested in the same topics you are writing about. This is also known as "know your audience." Write to them. Engage them on Discord and promote your post organically.
If you are going to buy votes from bots, think about the value your post contributes to the STEEM ecosystem. If you are getting a 10 STU vote, do you really think your post (in your subjective preference) is equal or greater in value than other posts getting similar rewards? Again, nobody else cares what you spent for the vote - see above.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you, "Write better posts, the rewards will come." Maybe they will, maybe they won't. I can tell you that when you are engaged in a community and someone says, "You should do a post on that" and then you do, that post will likely do well.
I really appreciate your response in such a short time, regards.
Agradezco tu respuesta en tan corto tiempo, saludos.
