      ab: Software now on offer from Visible Decisions, a small Canadian firm, allows an entire investment portfolio to be encapsulated as a three-dimensional moving picture on a single screen. The image changes in real time as prices fluctuate and securities are purchased and sold. The viewer can examine close-ups of specific securities and move unhindered around the portfolio's landscape. The company's programs are selling well on Wall Street, with clients including some of the largest and richest investment and commercial banks. One firm is employing the technology to run a portfolio of mortgage-backed bonds, and another is using it to control its foreign-exchange trading. They are attracted to such 3-D graphics for several reasons, including their use as an investment tool, their potential as a risk-management tool, and their speed.
