If you’re planning to buy a home in the near term (1-2 years), you definitely shoudn’t consider putting money toward that house into the stock market. You’re just asking for trouble if the market (which you have no control over) goes in a direction you don’t think….imho….If you’re really planning on buying a home, you should remain liquid as much as a possible.
If you plan on using the funds in the short term to buy a house, you shouldn’t be gambling with it…And the equity markets for most people is gambling….It’s not investing…

Basically if you invested in gold or silver, or pretty much any of the 3 simple indexes, in the spring of 2009 and walked away and looked at it today, you would be very very happy.
