SolTrade offers investment advice about which companies to buy. Once you register, you will have access to several portfolio summaries. Each portfolio consists of four companies, whose names (in reality, each is a common word or phrase) are hidden in four puzzles. To order the portfolio, you will need to enter the four "company" names, and the name of the portfolio. To obtain this information:

• Solve each puzzle.
• Each puzzle conceals a hidden word or phrase (the "company" name). Determine what that word or phrase is.
• One puzzle in each of these portfolio summaries also contains a hidden rule. This rule will explain how to derive stock symbols for each of these "companies", as well as how to combine these stock symbols.
• After combining these symbols, you'll have the name of the portfolio. Come back, and enter the portfolio name, along with all four company names (not the symbols). If you are correct, you will have ordered that portfolio, and will move on to the next portfolio summary. 

Investors who purchase all three portfolios will have an opportunity to solve one more investment puzzle. Solve correctly, and you'll end up with something vital to every investor.

As an example of how our portfolio summaries work:

• Company Answers (the bold portion are the words hidden in the puzzle: STUDIO, LAKE HAVASU, TIMPANI, OUT OF TOWN.
• Rule: USE TERMINAL LETTERS.
• Stock Symbols (note that only the word(s) hidden in the puzzle are relevant): SO, LU, TI, ON
• Portfolio Name: SOLUTION.

All of the answers are given in proper order, but the answer may not necessarily be the abbreviations run together. To access the next report, enter the four "company" names (STUDIO, LAKE HAVASU, TIMPANI, OUT OF TOWN) and the portfolio name in the spaces provided.
