Answer 4

Mutual funds are a great choice.  They are diversified collections of stocks and bonds, thereby reducing risk.  They are also professionally managed so you don't have to worry about lack of expertise or experience.  However, before you begin investing, I suggest you do a little more reading about mutual funds.  Here's a great website to learn more about them: http://www.investopedia.com/university/m...

Once you are ready to invest in mutual funds, you will need a brokerage account.  I currently use Firstrade ( http://www.firstrade.com/ ).  They are cheaper than big name brokers such as Etrade, Ameritrade, Schwab, and Scottrade.  I've been using them for awhile now and have not encountered any problems at all.  I would definitely recommend that you check them out.

Answer 5

Without having more information about your personal information, such as age, current income and other data such as risk tolerance, martial status, and demographics it would be very inappropriate for me or any other responsible person to provide specific investment information in this type of media

There are many people just like you that are, or were looking to invest and those that did bought Mutual Funds and/or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).  One purpose of mutual funds is to help investors like you, who are either just entering the investment world or who have no investing experience.  Once you feel you at least have an understanding of investments you should look into ETFs which are similar to mutual funds but are traded on the exchanges.

Mutual Fund companies as well as ETFs have an entire array of products many will fit your needs. You can go to the MSN.Money website

http://moneycentral.msn.com/home.asp  it has an entire section on mutual funds and Exchange Traded Funds.  Read about the various products and in doing so you will be getting investment ideas and at the same time educating yourself about investing.

You could also contact the funds companies for more information.  I have found that Vanguard & Fidelity can meet your needs for mutual funds.  The service and information they provide is all free and you will find it helpful.

Good luck, do some studying and you'll do fine.

Answer 6

For people starting out, the best type of mutual fund to invest in is a "stock index mutual fund". These funds give you a high average return (compared to the average mutual fund), are well-diversified, and don't require knowledge of markets or industries. The most popular index funds are S&P 500 index funds, which base their holding on the S&P 500 index. I believe the biggest fund is run by Vanguard.

Answer 10

I agree with John B. - invest in an index fund that tracks the S&P 500.  These outperform most actively managed funds on a regular basis.  Look for a fund with low fees, such as a Vangard fund.
