Didn't have enough to open with $3000k so Star was the only option. Once there's more in there I'll look to see if other funds are more appropriate. These days you can also invest cheap with EFT's in a company like Sharebuilder that allows fractional shares. I have the Vanguard Star fund in my Roth IRA account.

If you are the unfortunate one to be in debt, paying off your debt may provide you with more money than investing it. What's the point of "investing" money trying to get a 8-12% return, if you're getting charged 20% interest on those credit cards. Don’t forget to look at your own expenses.

Approximately 15% of the fund is invested in the financial sector. If you want a bit more exposure to financials, perhaps the Vanguard Value Index Fund (VIVAX) would be more to your liking. It invests approximately 24% of its funds in financials. Jeff, the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (VTSMX) contains pretty much every stock worth owning in America.

Also a fund that carries the major commercial real estate such as malls, hi rise condos,and last but not the least a fund that handels a lot of the financial stocks. I do not know if this would be in a etf type or what. Can you help me out on this?
