Mutual Funds Vs. Stocks

I have some money in both.

What do you think is better? Vote and let me know which i should put more of my money in.

depends upon your practical experience

 

depends the length of time you are willing to sit back and allow it to grow. Mutual funds are safer in a sense, but usual have a low yield per annum compared to stocks which are high risk-high gain (pending on the style of your investment )

Talk with your broker.

have a good one.

 

Both are better(depends). I invest in both....

 

Hm, i've heard mutual funds usually take longer to see a gain. True?

 

Forex. All the way.

 

Mutual funds help minimize the risk by diversifying on many different stocks. There's really no better or worse, depends what you want to achieve on your investments

 

Mutual funds tend to be more diverse so for example if you have one stock that jumps 100% you actually see that 100% but while the mutual fund can hold that same stock it could only be 5-10% of their holding so you wouldn't notice as much of the gain as you would holding the individual stock.

 

All I know about mutual funds is:

Mutual funds are subject to market risks - please read the offer document carefully before investing [Said in a single breath in 3 seconds]

 

LOL. I guess the moral of you post is: 'Don't ask for financial advice from webmasters, ask a professional financial advisor.' Or am I reading too much in your humor?

 

I prefer investing a part of my earnings in stocks where I can double or tripple my investments in a short time. But it could also go the other way so invest only what you can afford to loose.

 

I am about 50/50 now.

 

stock, go all stock 100%

 

Far and away the best investment for most investors is Mutual Funds.

Growth funds generally average 10 to 14 percent over time. they are long term investments. Your age and quantity of money makes a difference as to how to deversify in different funds.

 

I will prefer mutual fund as experts are hired by mutual fund management company.
