		1. What is in this Report ?
				To help "Beginner" Investors, we have constructed a "Sample Starter Portfolio" comprised of what we consider is the best representation of today's Stock Market and fulfills the definition of "Diversification".
		2. What investments are used in this Report ?
				"Beginning" Investors should consider being "Diversified" when they start their Investment Portfolio. The best way to  accomplish "Diversification" is by getting into the Major Stock Market "Indexes". The best way to invest in Market "Indexes" is by using ETFs. ETFs are Exchange Traded Funds that hold many individual stocks which gives them the "Diversification".
		3. Why are ETFs used to represent  Market "Indexes" and  "Sectors" ?
				Because ETFs hold several individual Stocks in any one Stock Market "Index" and  "Sector", they represent a better valuation of that one "Index" or "Sector" than just one of two individual Stocks in that "Index" or "Sector". Providing diversification in the "Index" or  "Sector" makes ETFs perfect to represent any one Stock Market "Index" or "Sector".
		4. Do these Stock Market Index and Sector ETFs pay Dividends ?
				All the the Stock Market Index and Sector ETFs in this Report pay Dividend / Distributions.
		5. What does it cost to purchase a  Market "Index" / "Sector" ETF ?
				There is usually NO commission cost  to Buy or Sell a Stock Market "Index" / "Sector" ETF. Check with your Broker or open an account at a Broker that offers commission free trading.
		I. Sample Starter Portfolio
		We are using the new tool "Slices" which allows anyone to invest as little as $5 in any one Stock, ETF or Index. When you use this Sample Starter Portfolio, you can adjust the amount invested by what ever amounts you are ready to invest.
		Sample Starter Portfolio using $100 Total Investment . . .																						To invest more, simply multiply the percentage of each ETF by the Total Amount you wish to invest.

This will effect the Fraction of the Share you Purchase in each ETF. Since you should always consult with an Investment Professional, have them review this Site.
