not to be too jaded here, but if yo'ure saying "O, the blue chips" or "strong companies" are going to be fine....just remember that 10+ yrs ago, those companies were GM, F, GE, BSC, LEH, MER, MS, GS, BAC, WFC, PG(which is just back to 1997 levels, not nearly as bad as the others), T(same case), pfe, vz...
Well, let's just say that half of those would mean you're bankrupt right now and the other half mean you lost 10-15 yrs of growth...which is half of the time most people spend saving for retirement (most don't start til 30-35, unfortunately).
So, while things are cheaper...normally they are cheaper for a reason.
But, if you want a fund and you're worried that funds underperform the market, then buy the index etfs, Spy, iwm, qqqq, dia, etc. Why fight the market, you know? I'm wtih jericho, though, this probably has another 10% to fall
