The main advantage to Mutual funds is that you don't have to do as much research. Of course, that is only an opinion. Some 401K's do not offer the option to buy stocks only mutual funds so you are sometimes limited.

With the NASDAQ falling so low it is a good time to buy a lot of stocks. I wouldn't buy Gateway stock because I don't really like their computers. That is the way that I invest. First I see if a stock is sound and a good buy usually in the $10-20 range. Then I research the company. If it is a tech stock, I am usually familar with their products. If I like their product and it is a good value, I buy.
