One of the first big investing questions is how you begin investing in stocks. You need to know the pros and cons of each. Don't forget a mutual fund can be active OR passive; most people miss this difference. With an active mutual fund, a fund manager chooses stocks for the fund.
With a passive mutual fund, the fund simply holds the stocks in a particular index, such as the s&p500. While individual investors don't have access to the research team that a mutual fund would have, she is able to get in and out of stocks quickly and easily. These are 2 of the main differences in investing with mutual funds vs stocks.
