look a mutual fund makes only sense when you don't reall have the time to follow your investments, you pick one on the basis of your needs and expectations and then you just buy the shares and let them do their thing, playing commodities and futures etc needs a follow up and constant attention, sure there are such things as managed accounts, I believe even mutual funds which have commodity parts but generally you have to pay more attention.

Mutual funds are good for a couple reasons:

1) they are great when you don't have time or knowledge to trade yourself and make competent decisions.

2) they eliminate trading costs. you can get a fairly diversified portfolio to an extent by putting your money in the mutual fund as they spread it out accross various investments.

However never believe mutual funds about their returns, the imperical evidence shows that a mutual fund is just as likely to beat the market this year than it is to do worse than the market this year. If you can invest yourself, do it.

You should only use a mutual fund when you want to give people some of your money. You can do the same thing that mutual fund managers do and perhaps even better with some experience.

Start small and trade online - that is what I did. Once you undertand how to read the indicators and the companies themselves you can start to invest more money.

The main idea is to buy when the stock is low and sell when it reaches the peak. Some indicators are the slow showtastic and MACD, read the curves and get out at the right time. All major stocks experience swings and if you trade in varies industries you can protect yourself from any major losses...don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Good luck, because trading does require some of that some of the time.
