What are others doing? Curious.
I just happened to convert to cash to invest in something else. I ended up not investing in what I wanted to. I planned on re-entering in equites, but since then, the market has dropped 30%, and I look like a genius. I am not a big fan of market timing, but if the bank runs don't stop, the market could drop another 30%.

Every businessperson I talk to talks about how banks have stopped lending to them. Small businesses employ more people than everyone. Some business owners, when faced with a lack of capital, are going to have to start laying off people.
