OULU, FINLAND and CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwire - Feb 13, 2013) - CyberLightning Ltd. and StockSmart today announced a collaboration that will bring the power of 3D visualization to investors using StockSmart Apps.

In the collaboration, the two companies will develop both home/office and mobile Apps to provide users with 24/7 access to their investment information.

"Combined with StockSmart's comprehensive and powerful financial analytics, a 3D-world view is the basis for investors to better understand their portfolios and make informed decisions."
