I've read a lot of books on investing and it seems like all of them say the very same things about ETF's and mutual funds. What is the real difference between them?

I'm not talking about markets, I mean how can I tell when my personal finances will allow me to start investing? I want my money to work for me, but I'm still trying to pay the mortgage and put food on the table.

I have invested in Certificates for years and want to learn more about the difference between an IRA and a CD. Can someone explain these in more detail for me? What I am looking for is the best interest rate for my dollar. I don't need the money anytime soon, but don't want to be majorly penalized if I were in dire straights either.

How do bank cds work? Are they really worth the hassle because a friend of mine had one where he had to have a minimum balance of 5,000 and only got an additional 227 dollars for the year.

I am in a position to purchase some mutual funds for my retirement portfolio. Hopefully retiring in 5 to 10 years. I'm debating whether to purchase the funds now or wait until the fall or winter. The reason I am hesitating is that it appears that the market is due for a "correction". Most investment pundits predict somewhere between 3 percent and 8 percent. I'd prefer to buy when the correction occurs and ride some of the upside. Am I being too cautious or should I bite the bullet and buy now with the expectation that a correction will occur and I'll still make up for that 3 to 8 percent loss in the long run. I'm looking for some good insight. Please don't recommend a professional advisor. I've tried them before and I have done much better on my own. I know where to invest not just the right time. Thanks for your thoughts in advance.

We sold one house and we have exactly 3 weeks before the next closing. We will need that money for the next closing, but wanted to do something to make a little more money instead of just letting it sit for 3 weeks.

We have thought about just applying it to our current mortgage, but that won't gain us more than about $50.

Does anyone know of something we are not thinking of to increase that $15,000 without losing any of it?

Thank you.

I've actually been convinced to start looking into the stock market. Problem is, I don't even know where to start.
Anyone know where?
