Each of the five, including Lorelei, invested in a different fund concentrating on a different market sector, with each buying a different number of shares of the fund.

  2. Mark bought twice as many shares as the investor who bought the USofA Guardsman fund.
  3. Nate didn't buy the fund concentrating on growth stocks.
