There are two sections for this final Discussion:
First, include a table that shows the final stock prices, price gain, and valuation gain for the portfolio you developed earlier in the course. Then at the bottom of that table, include a row that totals your gains. Finally, briefly advise your peers on what you learned of value from this experience. Are you more comfortable with investing? Did you find it interesting or not? (Note: A table can be constructed quickly using the “Insert a Table” function in the instruction bar above.)
Second, simply identify the tax percentage assessed in your state for the following sources of state and local taxation. You may copy the following seven bullet points to your discussion posting and fill in the percentages:
State
State general sales tax percentage
Alcohol/liquor/wine tax percentage
State fuel (gasoline) tax percentage
Home sales tax percentage
