What considerations describes a valid reason for selling the stock now? Courtney is concerned that the value of the stock will decline in the near future. TRUE

Explanation:

Since Courtney invested in RAD, Inc., 9 months ago, any profit she makes will be taxed as normal income. So her friend's advice about holding the stock for 3 more months is a valid argument since any profits would be taxed as long term capital gains (which is taxed at a much lower rate).

The only reason why Courtney should sell the stocks now (or any time before the first year ends), is that she is afraid that the price of the stocks falls sharply in the near future.

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
