Index funds of stock, or bonds?

I don’t understand any of this… >.<

Here’s the question:

What would lead you to invest in index funds of stock rather than bonds? Would that be as true for someone just about to retire? Why?

mutual funds vs index and bonds?

I currently have my money invested in mutual funds. With the economy the way it is I’ve seen my money going down. I want to invest in something that will make money or at least be steady. I don’t want to lose anymore money. I asked the financial advisor that I had invested the mutual funds with. He has since left the company I have my mutual funds with and is with another financial institute. What I’d like to know is what is the best way to go. stick with mutual funds or invest in bonds or some kind of index fund?

Why did the investment bankers think it was profitable idea to securitize bundle bad mortgage loans?

First I don’t understand why banks would loan money to someone with bad credit or not having the means to repay. Second I don’t understand why investment companies like Bears Stearns would repurchase the loans from the banks. Securitize them and sell them as bonds. What are they learning at these prestigious business schools? How to be a licensed crook? The credit rating agencies are seem to be payed by not assigning the proper credit ratings. The country is falling apart because people don’t have the discipline to live within there means. Greed is running rampant.
