What is the best way to invest if you don't know what the heck you are doing?
...and know you don't have the brains for trading stocks and such? i've heard ETFs are a good way to go but I KNOW I would never understand it because I am bad at math. Is there a way to mirror an expert's trades, and if so how?

ETFs are fine. They eliminate the company risk but not the market risk. Also they can be traded without restriction, unlike mutual funds.

When the S&P , the Dow, NASDAQ and the NYSE are all dropping, I'd buy QID.

When these indices are all rising, I'd buy QLD.

When the market is volatile (rising and dropping), sell everything.

You can only make money if you take risk, so keep it simple.

Invest in an index fund which traces the S&P 500 and a bond fund. Thats my opinion. Most experts mutual fund managers cannot beat an index fund over a 20 year period.

It is good that you know your limitations.

Read about Dollar Cost Averaging, and then find a couple of good no-load mutual funds from Vanguard.

For the sake of your retirement and your children, stay away from the markets. The best thing you could do if you really are a self admitted ignoramus as you say, is invest about $50 in some good books on investing.
I could suggest a couple of titles ...

I am not a lot better off as far as stock market savy myself, and of course I have taken my own advice and have not made any investments for at least the last 10 years. Thank God for that as I am sure I would have lost a bunch of money. But personally I think there will be an opportunity or two in the next few months or years, depending on whether or not Obama is able to pass his new tax and spend agenda. If he is able to do what he has promised, you would be best to stay out of stocks for about 4 to 8 more years.

Right now just put it into FDIC insured certificates of deposit at a major bank. The stock market is no place for the neophyte investor right now.

You can always educate yourself...beat that into yourself from here on out. Trusting another person with your finances/investment is not a guarantee of safety for your money either.

Let's talk about how to educate yourself so no one can screw you out of your money. Go to www.vectorvest.com and check it out thoroughly.

They base their investing ideas on the stock market using the fundamentals of the companies and the timing of when to buy or sell out of those companies. In english...they show you what company is doing good and when to buy it so you buy low and sell high.

They offer a 5 week trial period for $10.00 and then, if you want it, it goes to $39.00 per month. In those 5 weeks you can see if it's even something you would like.

Yes. I'm getting ready to buy a Jim Rogers ETF (RJI). It's a fund set up by Jim Rogers to mirror his commodity trading. There's all different kinds of ETFs...GLD is a gold ETF that tracks the price moves in Gold....and there's GDX which is like a mutual fund of the top gold mining companies...that one tracks the performance of the XAU.
Mutual funds and ETF are a good way to play the market but you still have to make good decisions on which ones to get and when.
If you like metals, agriculture, or energy then check out Jim Roger's funds...RJA, RJN, and RJZ. ...RJI is a combination of all 3...more diversified and relatively safer but had you bought any of them a few months ago you'd be down considerably. But at today's prices they are becoming very attractive (under $7/share). I plan on buying RJI and RJA very soon. If RJI gets down to $6 or below it's a GIFT.
