FIN 335 Milestone Four Guidelines and Rubric
The final project for this course is the creation of a market analysis report that analyzes various organized global and domestic exchange markets and compares
and contrasts performance for different investment products.
In this milestone, you will submit a draft of Risks and Returns (Section IV) of the final project. You will analyze the risks and returns of different investment
instruments in the U.S. and non-U.S. markets you selected in Milestone One. You may find it helpful to use online brokerage aids or other tools (e.g., Yahoo!
Finance, Bloomberg Business, TD Ameritrade) in conducting this analysis. Review stock, bond, mutual fund, and commodity performance and their movement
over time in these markets. Your analysis should include dividend yields, capital gains, price relative to intrinsic values, and foreign exchange considerations,
which were discussed in Module Four. Last, you will come to a conclusion about each markets performance and assess risk versus return when comparing
investment vehicles within the different markets.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
IV. Risks and Returns. Use this section to analyze the risks and returns of different investment instruments in the U.S. and non-U.S. markets you selected.
You may find it helpful to use online brokerage aids or other tools in conducting this analysis. Specifically, you should:
A. Investment Instruments. Review stock, bond, mutual fund, and commodities performance in the two markets. Be sure to:
1. Analyze investment returns in each of the two markets, including dividend yields, capital gains, prices relative to intrinsic values, and
foreign exchange considerations associated with each of the instruments. Use relevant indicators and visual displays to help present your
findings.
2. Explain what your analysis of returns suggests about each markets performance and how that might affect decisions on where to list.
Justify your response.
3. Compare and contrast how the different types of instruments move in the two markets over time, explaining the significance of this
information for decisions on where to list. Provide specific examples to support your answer. For example, have certain types of
instruments historically performed better in one market over another? Have certain types of instruments yielded higher returns more
quickly?
4. Assess the risks versus returns associated with the different types of investment instruments in the two markets. How might these trade-
offs affect listing decisions? Support your response with specific examples.
B. Interest and Inflation. Analyze how interest rates and inflation affect different investment instruments and investor decisions. Give specific
examples from the two markets selected to support your answer. For example, how do inflation and interest rates affect stock, bond, and mutual
fund returns in each market? How does that, in turn, affect business and individual short- and long-term investment planning?
C. Taxation. Would tax policies in the two markets make one a better option for IPO listing than the other? Why or why not? Give specific examples.

Community Health Nursing Diagnoses:
Based on your subjective and objective assessment findings above for both Weeks 1 and 2, write
TWO
priority community health nursing diagnoses.
You
must use this format for correctly writing a CH nursing diagnosis (do
NOT
use NANDA):
*RISK OF AMONG RELATED TO
Health
*Risk/problem of (specific injury, illness, or potential of, complication of, etc)
Among (specific population)
Related to (supporting evidence from your assessment findings).
Your CHN Diagnoses
MUST be something that a community/public health nurse can do something about. See example below.
Note: Poverty is NOT a CHN diagnosis.
Remember do NOT use NANDA Nursing Diagnoses.
For example:
Risk of asthma complications among children in SE Dallas County related to observations of overcrowded living conditions, lack of public transportation (may result in inability to access health care), high number of animals observed living in homes, poverty indications (may result in lack of access to medications).
