    There are many people just like you that are, or were looking to invest and those that did bought Mutual Funds and/or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). One purpose of mutual funds is to help investors like you, who are either just entering the investment world or who have no investing experience. Once you feel you at least have an understanding of investments you should look into ETFs which are similar to mutual funds but are traded on the exchanges.

    Mutual Fund companies as well as ETFs have an entire array of products many will fit your needs. You can go to the MSN.Money website
    http://moneycentral.msn.com/home.asp it has an entire section on mutual funds and Exchange Traded Funds. Read about the various products and in doing so you will be getting investment ideas and at the same time educating yourself about investing.

    You could also contact the funds companies for more information. I have found that Vanguard & Fidelity can meet your needs for mutual funds. The service and information they provide is all free and you will find it helpful

    At least you smart enough to try a study what to do and not just jumping into things
    With your mature approach and some studying, you’ll do well

    You may want to read this about wealth creation before investing. It will give you the big picture you should look at first. Don’t put in CD, too low interest. if you are young buy good strong companies that you expect to grow. Apple, Cisco, etc.
