Is investing in mutual funds and stocks the same thing?

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
Papa Chuck asked:


People have told me due to my high level of risk that I should invest most of my money in stocks. I know my bank offers mutual funds and IRA’s but I am not sure if they offer stocks. If I have no stock investing experience then should I hire a broker to do it for me or should I just stick with aggressive mutual funds? Are stocks and mutual funds the same thing? What is an example of a stock?

Is now a good time to start investing in mutual funds?

offline256 asked:


I just opened a Roth IRA with Fidelity, and i’m interested in investing my money in other ways (like maybe mutual funds?). I’m in my early 30s, and i’m really interested in making my money work for me. Since it seems that we’re headed for recession (no matter was bush says…), is now a good or bad time to invest? or should i consider investing in other types of ways? thanks so much for your time!
