You really need to know what you are doing if you are going to invest in Mutual Funds. Plus, most mutual funds are load funds, not all, which means they have a nice management fee attached to them. DRIP's are wonderful. You can participate without much money. If you are in it for the long-term, you don't care what the market is doing. And often times, you can purchase shares from a company at a discount for being a DRIP investor. In my opinion, there is no contest. DRIP's are a far better investment than Mutual Funds.
