However, Ken Hevert, a senior vice president at Fidelity Investments, said that people appear to be handling the coronavirus downturn with less panic than the financial crisis of 2008.

"We've seen actually like a 50% reduction in people selling out of their investments this time around versus 2008," Hevert said. He said a key reason is that many of those investors have a plan they trust.

Not cashing out allows investors to recover and eventually grow their portfolios, according to Hevert.

Some people, on the other hand, use downturns as a chance to take advantage of cheaper prices. Hevert is already seeing evidence of a specific subset of people who are cashing in on the current market. He calls them "bold investors.
