from what I read it seems like alot of people like these index funds, but it kind of goes against everything I've read here

Yea I am not expecting it to be this magic fund that will never go down, just dont want dead money in an interest only position
Sounds like we're in darn near the same boat. Almost same age, and similar situation. All my investments are researched single stocks, except for the large chunk i just rolled into my IRA, and i havent had the time to research anything yet.
