Probably because the post from td was posted more recently , I would assume . Still a shame though , it ' d be so nice if this got on the front page . <| sep |> rwallstreetbets has great mutual funds , go check them out . Jokes aside , read up on rpersonalfinance to learn your general moneymanagement information . After that , read the FAQ . Next , you ' ll most likely want to check out Vanguard , Fidelity , etc . Vanguard offers no fees for investors I believe , if not , then the fees are very very low . Historically , the market has always seen 7 % returns or higher peryear over any 30 year period , so if you invest in a broad indexfund , you should always see gains over the long term . The SP 500 is usually considered a very safe investment vehicle , so you can expect longterm growth with this fund . Also , Vanguard will have a list of their indexmutualfunds . Gain some knowledge on investing cough cough Warren Buffet and choose something you like . The SP 500 is usually the goto , but there are other funds that might interest you , depending on how you think that fund will perform in the future .
