If your not sure than go with something basic. The S&P 500 is a good place to start. Check out the symbol SPY on the NYSE and you can see its track record. Also check out DIA it is the dow jones industrial average. These EFT's are very simple and the fee's are very very low. The fee's are skimmed off the top too, so you dont owe anything to a broker.
The Main difference between open ended funds and closed ended, are that the remaining cash flow from the funding house has more options on a closed fund as where an open end fund must stash the extra cash flow into its fund into more stocks. (Honestly... it doesnt matter) I prefer open end, but closed end will be suffice.
Dont sweat it though dude... Just buy simple ETF's and play it cool.
Good Luck

Whatever others might say, there is no holy grail here. The only true and tested way of investing for the retail investor is to invest in a mutual fund SIP (Systematic Investment Plan).
The best choices in Mutual Fund are
Franklin Flexicap, Franklin Prima, HDFC Equity, HDFC Prudence, HDFC Tax Saver Fund, HSBC Equity, Reliance Vision, SBI Magnum Contrafund, Sundaram Mid Cap and Templeton India Growth

Performance of mutual funds depend on so many factors like market sentiment, the capacity of the fund manager to select ,invest , exit in right stocks at right times.
Hence for investing in mfs, better go through moneycontrol.com or way2wealth.com who have links to mutual funds and gives u information about the best performers .Dont invest your entire funds in one fund.Split your funds and invest in atleast five best performing funds like sbi magnum contra, sundaram select midcap etc etc.
Open ended funds are those which will have to pay the investors if they want their money back. So they will be under pressure to sell in a falling market even at a loss if investor redemption pressure is there, inspite of knowing that the markets will bounce back and good gain will result if they dont sell.
close ended funds on the other hand will not be having such pressures and even in falling market, they need not worry about the redemption pressure and go on buying, hence their performance should be better.
But you may not have the option to exit , redeem when markets are high and will have to wait for the redemption period or close of the fund.

see it depends upom your mentality brother
If you want law risk and law return you can invest in debt funds of any company
but if you want mre risk and more return reliance growth fund is the best
and if you want systmatic investments reliance sip (systmatic investment plan) is the best
a perfact investment is last one
and now a days market is down so if youcan invest today because you will get more units in the same price
and one thing is for sure is that in long term you will get best returns from mutual funds only
because any thing can beat inflation is mutual fund
go a head dude you are on the right path
