I'm new to mutual funds or stock market invesments. Any advice as to which investment type is recommended?

This question is asked on this forum about 75 times a day. LEARN about investing before you try to invest. You won't get there reading blogs. There are lots of good books available for beginning investors. Go to Amazon or Barnes & Nobel and search for "investing."

I'd start out with an S&P 500 index fund.

Then study up on mutual funds, ETF's and stocks, to see if maybe you want to also invest in other things. Morningstar.com ot Yahoo Finance are some good resources.

Disclaimer: Any of the above mentioned investments may lose money, depending on market conditions.

That entirely depend on what kind of risk you can take or how much capital do you want to invest or how much time you can spare and many more factors.
Are you doing this investment in addition to your job or is this your full time profession.

As for mutual funds,there are many type of funds like money market funds,bond income funds,equity funds,balanced funds and....

I would suggest a link to grasp better understanding of mutual funds http://www.earnerz.com/learn2earn/bonds_...
May be it can help you.

A word of advice:Don't ever invest without thorough knowledge of fund,You are investing in!

If you have less than $25,000.00 then invest in Mutual Funds only.

If you have less than $2,000.00 then invest in ETFs only.
