    Personally, I do not like any index funds currently. If you are wishing an almost guaranteed income I would suggest bank subordinated notes.

    There is a lot of smart money ready to be removed from the equities markets - there may be a big correction, all indices and therefore index funds could suffer.

    Why? What do you see in Europe?

    As far as index funds - for myself about 15% in S&P Index. Not because I like it, just a specific diversification allotment.

    There will be a correction (big, relative term, what is the yardstick). The problem is it is impossible to time the market. The professionals have been trying, and failing, forever. I've tried, unsuccessfully. Now I just let my nest egg sit in a reasonably diversified portfolio.

    If or when the ECB starts its QE, there will be more Euro money sloshing about. It will need a home. Predict where that will be and get there first. Asia?
