No shipment

Checking my sales record, we nearly have no order coming since this July, so there is no shipment from September, the worse is, many planned orders were pending indefinitely and hope is fading to get them. Our loyal partner in South America, is seriouly suffering from the currency devaluation to US dollar the recent month, things change in a jiffy. I even couldn't get any piece of news from him these days.We need to grasp any little chance to get the order, which means we need to invest more on travelling for a slight potential purchasing. I feel the difficult in cash flow as well, which limit us to start the new production, or involve in a risky but profitable buy.USA election is a turning point? or a worse situation? It matters, or it doesn't matter? Anyhow I feel a bit waiting atmosphere.
