20 points

Write, enter, run, debug, and get working a Visual Basic project to solve the following problem:

You are to add to the project for assignment 7. An option should be added under FILE to print the data from the file. An option should be added under INFORMATION to print the current value of the portfolio as a report. These two options were in assignments 4 and 5.

A new option should be added to the main menu for Buy/Sell. Under that option the user should be able to select an option when they purchase stock (a new record should be added to the file). Another option should be selected when they sell a stock (the record deleted if all the shares are sold). The third option should be selected when there is a stock split.

Extra credit will be given if the Portfolio Value option can have the stocks listed in different orders - alphabetic by the Name of the stock, in order by date bought, or decreasing order by current value.

Turn in a listing of your program and a 3.5 inch disk containing the program (or email it before class starts). Write your name on the disk and the file name of the program. All assignments are due at the beginning of class with late assignments reduced by 10% per day, up to a maximum reduction of 50%.
