That was calm selling, not panic selling. The calm selling happens before the market crash, not during.

That's not panic selling, that's transitioning to a cash position because you know a Republican is going to crash the American economy and want to be able to buy everything up cheaply.

This is what every investor does before a Republican takes office. That’s not panic selling.

one of his mantras is to be greedy when others are scared, be scared when others are greedy.

essentially, buy low, sell high.

him selling before a crash, is him cashing out on a high market to wait and buy during a "predicted" low market. so that in the future, he can sell high. thats how you actively invest. generally speaking.

You already got some replies, but there's an indicator buffet uses to identify when to (or no) invest: the ratio total stock market value to GDP.
