^ Nice approach. Buying the entire market is always safer than taking risks with individual stocks. And buying on the way down is a time tested strategy.

It appears in the US, home prices may be at bottom - interest rates low, nice time to buy I think.

If you had cash, you said you would still stay out of the market short term. I assume due to Eurozone crisis. That is one pt where I may differ. Put little bit now since valuations are reasonable. And if market drops, put little at a time. 5 years from now, IMO the current prices will seem like a bargain.

Good luck with that house purchase!

Eurozone crisis will probably show bigger impact in spring time though there may be a bit of excitement/craziness to push the market to 12,500-13,000 levels but I don’t think it will be sustainable.
