The simplest plain vanilla fund to invest in is probably an S&P 500 Index Fund. Nobody selects the stocks to invest in, the fund just buys the stocks of the companies in Standard and Poor's list of large, publicly held companies that trade their stocks on the main American stock markets.
These funds pretty much follow the ups and downs of the general market.
You should buy your fund from a fund company that doesn't charge a fee for buying and selling the fund ('no load') and charges the least in administrative costs. After all, you're not paying for an expert for an index fund.
Some very popular 'no load' fund companies are: Vanguard, Fidelity and Dreyfus.
