I think Biden stole that from Napoleon who is quoted as saying “never interrupt your enemy when he is making a false move/mistake”
Sun Tzu said much the same thing—I don’t think Napoleon can have paraphrased Sun Tzu...
And I really don’t see Biden reading “The Art of War”...

The advisors were against it
I know you don’t HAVE to take it now because of change in the spending bill
But it would have been better to take on the upswing than after almost a 6K pt loss...
I've been slowly taking money out of my stocks and stock funds and moving it to fixed income, bonds, munis, etc. Now I'm planning on speeding up the process before the markets tank any more.

Well, Joe might not have formulated it into words but that seems to be what he's doing, i.e., letting Trump shoot himself in the foot.

It may be too late now. I got out with the Dow at 27k. Got 50% back in at 22K. I’m usually not a market timer but this is a once in a century pandemic. At least let’s hope so.

Well the Dow ended up today over 24K so I've recovered a good bit of my losses. Might be a good time to decrease equities and increase income. But I'll still have a good portion of my account in equities. Still need some growth and capital appreciation but if the market heads south and stays there at least I won't get killed. I'm not a timer either, just speeding up the normal process of shifting from stocks to income as I age.

Trump cannot be on the sidelines so sooner or later he is going to come out and do something stupid again—he can’t help himself—and right now (like always IMO) he is his own worst enemy
So let him punch himself in the face anytime he wants to...
Simply give Trump an extra shovel so he can dig the hole deeper and faster. lol

The more Trump speaks the lower his numbers go.

Trump writing the opposition ads all by himself.

Saw a story that Pence is going after a pool reporter. Seems Pence's staff sent out a memo explaining that Masks were required at the Mayo Clinic the day before the trip. Pool Reporter reported on the memo.

So Pence and his wife have lied or their staff did not tell them the policy.

So true! Now others besides the rallies crowd are seeing what Trump truly is. I think he is evil and very possibly mentally unbalanced.

Pence and Mother are lying.

There is clear evidence that he was informed of the policy.

But even if he bumbled along, clueless and uninformed, all he had to do is to look around. Everyone else was wearing a mask.
