Mutual funds and Stock investments - How Do They differ?

Discussion in 'Trading' started by TraderTactics, Jan 19, 2010.

  1. Whether you¡¯re a first-time stock investor or a seasoned veteran, we should understand what differentiates single stock investments from mutual fund investing.

    Picture a collection of stocks, bonds, or other securities that are purchased by a group of investors and then managed by an investment company. That¡¯s a mutual fund.

    When you buy a share in a fund, you¡¯re really buying a piece of a large, diverse portfolio. Conversely, stocks are shares of a single company.

    Which do you think would yield a better or higher return of investment?
     
  2. They do not want you going in and out of a mutual fund. But, you can go in and out of an ETF or stock.

    People in this forum are much more advanced than your thread.

    You can go in and out of rydex funds every day if you want to. They also have funds that you can go in and out of twice a day.

    I know because I had an account with them.
