  As you can see from the tables above, if you want to move some of your investment funds into any of the 4 Investment " Benchmarks ", it could cost more than you want to invest. If you want to invest in the U. S. Stock Indexes " Benchmark ", you would have to spend around $982 based on recent prices for the 3 components of the " Benchmark " , which is the DIA, SPY & QQQ. Buying 1 share of each of these ETF securities would give you a " Benchmark" that would include 630 individual Securities. Then came  "SLICES".  
   
   
   
   
   
                                 
   
   D. With the invention of Investment "SLICES"..you can buy a "Benchmark" for $15…  
   
  1. Here is what the new Investment "SLICES" online order format looks like . . . Wall Street Brokers like Fidelity, Schwab, Robinhood, SoFi, Stash, Stockpile, Interactive Brokers, Betterment and more came up with the tool called "SLICES" , which allows investors to purchase a "piece" or "SLICE" of one Security with as little as $5.  As example, if you wanted to own Apple or Netflix or Tesla, but did not want to invest $131 or $513 or $661 for one share of these companies . . . these Brokers will let you buy a "SLICE" of one share with $5. This new tool means you can own .038 of one share of Apple at a cost of $5. If Apple goes up to $175 per share, your .038 of one share would be worth $6.65, a profit of $1.65 or a return of 33% on your $5 investment.
