Brokers love to tell people to buy mutual funds, they are safe and conservative, and while some are, most are not any better than putting your money in a CD, or worse. Brokers make nice commissions of the sales of mutual funds.

Mutual Funds are nothing but a Collection of Shares ! So same risks as Stock Market !

mutual funds are somewhat less risky as a rule than buying individual stocks because your $1000 in stocks might buy you 20 shares of stock while your $1000 in a mutual fund might be spread in 1000 stocks. Its less risky because you have reduced the volatility risk via greater diversification.
Of course some of this depends on what kind of mutual fund you invest in as some are more diverse than others.
