I have some settlement money (about $28K) that I would like to invest. Everyone tells me to put it in a mutual fund. Can someone explain to me what exactly a mutual fund is? Will I be able to cash it out whenever, or do I have to keep it in for a certain number of years? Can I buy a mutual fund through Scottrade? What’s the best mutual fund?
