Selling stocks so that one can obtain more dollars, on some level if only a subconscious one, is essentially said person believing that a rapidly depreciating currency (the United State Dollar) is worth more than an appreciating asset(the stocks they dumped). It's a baffling thought process, truthfully.
As a general rule, under this type of monetary policy, you should only be dumping stocks if you think the company you own a stake in is going to take a massive hit for whatever reason or that their underlying business will be detrimentally impacted to a large extent by the inflation of the dollar. Otherwise, why would you channel your wealth to a rapidly depreciating medium?
The market trending towards selling right now on a wide scale right now would be nothing other than trading bots and or fat cats market manipulating ignorant poor people into selling.
