               An investment program should be built like a
          pyramid -- with a strong, broad base.  The diagram
          below illustrates a typical investment pyramid.

          NOTE:  This Pyramid is intended merely to illustrate the concept.
          Each investor will differ on the levels to which various assets
          are assigned.
