IMO, something big is getting ready to happen. The SNB breaking the Euro peg is a big frigging deal.
It could signal that the ECB is going to execute a QE next week. How big? Who knows? Could be that the Swiss Central Bank knows its coming and it is getting in front of the ECB or it could mean that there has been a break in central bank co ordination.
Also, yesterday at Bloomberg, there was an article concerning Yellen signaling that she ain't going to babysit market turmoil. Read it...
Bloomberg
OK, so IF the ECB announces a huge QE next week, where is the money going to flow to? Too many unknowns right now, although a big Euro QE could put a floor on commods.
Anecdotally, I noticed that during this Christmas shopping season, the deals started way before Black Friday. Lower prices everywhere. Deflation... and last week I heard of a friend whose company has asked for employees to take a high teens salary reduction. The company involved is in no way connected to the price of energy. That's the first one I have heard, but I will be looking for a trend.
For me I am not selling, but I don't want to put NEW money to index funds until there is a clearer picture of what investors will be dealing with going forward.
As always do your own due diligence.

So does anyone have any specific funds that they would recommend as vehicles to ride the market?
