For those who have been investing for a long time...

I've been wondering about people who were investing in the Markets when past bad events have happened, like when the Tech bubble burst.

I know this financial crisis is not the same but overall, the Markets going down so much is what I am referring to. Did anyone kind of see the current Market crisis happening and if so, did you get out of stocks a lot, or altogether, to try to avoid losing a lot of money, based on previous knowledge that you had from other past Market 'disasters'? Not sure if I'm explaining correctly what I'm trying to ask.

My thought is that by my paying attention to what is going on now, hopefully I can recognize in the future when things are getting bad again and pull my money out before share prices go plummeting.
