How do you get started to invest online into the stock market?

I would like to invest some money into the stock market. I dont want to buy stock, just invest in it, kind of like you do with retirement/ 401 k but not. I just want to invest some money into a stock and see what happens basically, hoping for the best of course. Anyone have any ideas or information? This is serious so serious answers only. Thank you.

Should I make a lump-sum contribution to my mutual fund account or take advantage of dollar-cost averaging?

I received some inheritance money that I’d like to invest for retirement. I plan to open a mutual fund account with Vanguard and begin investing in index funds. Should I invest the entire lump sum at once or keep it in a high-yield money market account and fund the mutual fund account monthly to take advantage of dollar-cost averaging?

Assume I have no bad debt, have already established an emergency fund, am contributing to a 401(k), and am funding a Roth IRA (also with Vanguard) to the annual max.

What do you think about index funds?

I just finished reading John Bogle’s latest book, and he makes a very compelling case for index funds outperforming managed mutual funds over time. Does anybody agree with him? If you’re a fan of actively managed funds, tell me why, before I go reset my 401(k) elections!
