Index funds are great, but you should try to invest in different indexes that aren't correlated. Rebalance when indexes rise/fall.

On a related note, I saw an old interview with William F Buckley about his show Firing Line. He mentioned that he had a chapter in an earlier book that described various debate tactics used by his guests. He described a few in the interview that I immediately recognized in online comments, too. Sadly, I don't know which book has this chapter.
