Index Funds and dividends ?

I am thinking of buying some Vanguard Total Bond Market Index (VBMFX ) and Vanguard Total Stock Mkt Index (VTSMX ).

1- Do these index funds give dividends?
2- If so, where do you see that they do on google finance page for example or morningstar? I cannot find anytning that says dividends.

Thanks.

Is a portfolio diversified if it consists of 1 index fund for stocks and 1 index fund for bonds?

Assume the two index funds are both large, broad funds. For example, the stocks fund might be indexed to the S&P 500 and the bond fund to the total bond market.

Thanks!

Is the stock market expected to drop significantly in the next six months?

My financial advisor advised me to move more of my investments into the bond market. He said that equities have been at all time highs, and the market is expected to correct itself sometimes between summer and this winter. However, I can’t find any articles on this expected correction. Anyone know more about this? Also, what are some good online news organization where I can read articles about the stock market?
