I think it depends on what your objectives and goals are. If you do not have the time to spend researching individual stocks then mutual funds may be a good way to go - as long as the MER is not high - an index fund will be cheaper. If you like the fund, like its holdings, like the manager, and the fees are cheap (i.e. <1.0 - 1.5) then go for it. For my portoflio, I would not do it as I have not seen any active funds that are worth their MERs up here in Canada. Hi zook,

My question is...Some index mutual funds kick out a higher dividend than say Coke does...What are your thoughts on that? Thanks!
