Is there a difference between 'mutual funds' and 'money market mutual funds?'?


....or are they the same thing with just different terminology?
If they are the same no explanation is needed..........
If they are different what is the difference?
Thanks.

money market is sort of like a savings with interest
the interest will vary according to the stock market but it will never take you below your principal amount as other mutual funds can do

A basic, old-school mutual fund invests in stocks across 80-200 different companies. I have no idea what a 'money market mutual fund' is. I'd have to see the context, ask them for a prospectus and then you can read all about it.
