Angel and Marie Perez own a small pool hall. They enjoy running the business, which they owned for 3 years. Angel saved for nearly 10 years to buy this business, which they own free and clear. The income from the pool hall is adequate to allow Angel, Marie and their 2 children to live comfortably.
Recently, Angel and Marie were notified that Marie's uncle had died and left them a portfolio of stocks and bonds with a current market value of 300,000.

Instead they want their newfound wealth to provide for their children's college education as well as their own retirement. They decided to keep these funds invested in stocks and bonds. Given the amount of money involved, Angel was not too concerned with the information costs, rather he wanted the best information he could get a reasonable price.
