I have been looking at investment in the stockmarket too just trying to make up my mind on which shares or funds to buy into - from what I have gleaned it seems like almost the ideal time to buy in - better to get in when things are at a low (if not the lowest) point in the cycle.
this "perfect storm" is ideal for LONG TERM equity investment.
What to buy?.............a good sharp dart and a monkey throwing the dart at the equities pages of the FT or Investors Business Daily would make money long term!
Seriously a well diversified ETF portolio may be apt.
Good luck.
