Investing

Hey

Aside from trading do many people here "invest" aswell as or as a replacment to trading?

Does trading as it is more time consuming (generally) give higher returns than investing?

(im talking very generally here, i know both can win or loose)

Im currently trying to find someway to make some money i have grow and found some 6.05% bonds for 1 year at birmingham midshires (guaranteed) and then looking at things like:

(index tracking funds)

and

Mutual funds like this:

Im woundering if they may be a better bet, but im thinking of how much importance (when looking at the return from these typo of investments) is and extra percentage as a guaranteed year bond can get you around 6% whereas on the market watch link above those funds get an average of around 7% (correct me if im wrong) is that extra 1% worth the risk?

Thanks

active investor generally can beat the mutual fund rate

Do you mean individual investors?

Cheers

yes, i mean personal active investor / trader
