It's funny you mention it. I did just that (though not because of any great foresight). I'm in the process of buying a small business and needed to cash out my stock portfolio to move into a CD to guarantee the loan. Based on the percentage drops, I saved over $ 30K. (Thank God).

Of course my 401(K) is down a great deal along with everyone else.
