dividends, where the small investor gets out when the price is up, but misses them?

No, I don’t think dividends are the problem. Mutual funds work better for most investors because most investors don’t do enough research in choosing their stock picks, and they often mis-time the market, trading in when the price is high and trading out when the price is low. But investors make the same mistakes with mutual funds as with individual stocks. For a solid mutual fund strategy, see a book called The Only Guide to a Winning Investment Strategy You’ll Ever Need: The Way Smart Money Invests Today by Larry E. Swedroe

Mutual funds work less well then the stock market index they try to emulate.
Subscribe to a reputable investment news letter, read it for a year and absorb all the information you can, then start investing in "small" amounts.
It is better to buy mutual fund shares, rather then the plans they sell. The commissions and fees eat up most of the gains you would get by investing directly.

You must either be joking or you are a fool. I suspect the latter.
