<prompt> Human: Im in my 20s, so I was not investing in 2008. I have 20 in bonds because Id like to have some money to buy low if the market crashes. Did everyone here stick to their strategies during the crash? Did some people here buy a ton of stocks when they were tumbling?  <response>: One particular thing that I remember is that the news couldnt keep up with the market. I went on google finance, and there were half a dozen stories reporting an up market, while the graph went straight down. Six hours later, the opposite. I thought this is crazy and stayed out of it until much later 2011 or so, but it did get me into technical trading a bit more.
