That makes sense. I think I'm the type of person who can pay attention to market and a pretty big news junky, so I don't think i would necessarily hold something for 30 years without making any moves. I was just thinking of maybe diversifying into 5-6 index funds, which i think should over the long-term be a fairly safe bet.
ProShares also has some ETF SHORT indexes as well, which is sort of interesting....I'm not really sure if it's too late to short things at the moment, but is also an interesting option at times.
