to begin the project you need to select 10 stocks and fixed income issues.When buying large quantities of stocks, it is most usual and convenient to issue orders in round lots (rounded to 100 shares).I need to do a analysis. When you sum the value of the rounded lots, the result will almost certainly not be exactly $500,000.Ignore that difference and use the sum of the rounded lots as your equity investment.The same holds true for the fixed income selections.A spreadsheet is provided in Doc Sharing to help you do the required computations
