Yield Curve Inversion, Buyers market around the corner?
I'm curious to know how many investors have been waiting and preparing for this time to come, I personally believe what's coming is going to be worse than '08 and would like to know the thoughts of more experienced investors.

The next crash is always, always, always 12-18 months away, due to some very convincing indicators:
2013:
- Denver Post: “Buyers Caught in a Price Squeeze”
- CNBC: “Housing Market Already Shows Signs of a New Bubble”
2014:
2015:
- CNBC (Again): “Housing today: A ‘bubble larger than 2006’”
- National Review: “We’ve inflated another bubble; count on the crash.”
2016:
- CNN: “Housing bubble fears have returned”
- MarketWatch: “The Seeds of the Next Housing Crisis have already been planted”
2017:
- Forbes: “58% of Homeowners Think The Housing Market is Set for a Correction”
- USA Today: “Hot Housing Market Could Cool in 2018”
2018:
Maybe this time it really is... and maybe there is a massive price drop that will hammer everyone. But if your strategy depends on this happening, or you will wait to take action because of the latest one, even if the yield curve does truly seem to be the latest and greatest doomsday predictor, you run the risk of slowly losing and waiting a really long time.
