You do not have to put any investment earnings in any stock until you have actually taken position of those earnings. Stock can have a value of $! when you purchased it. It may gain in value due to the increase in the stock price, but you do not pay any taxes until you actually take possession, or sell the stock! You would have to pay a tax on the increase in a value of stock(s), if you give them to another person. This is called "Gift tax". Or might even get a deduction on taxes if you give the stock to a qualified Charity (501c3 corporporation). And of course you must pay, or your Heirs, must pay upon your death. There are stated stipulated amount exclusions on the "Gift" and "Death" tax, but they still must be reported on the proper IRS TAX FORM!

How do you calculate gross equity?

Owner's Equity = Contributed Capital ± Retained Earnings Contributed capital is money that has been contributed to a company by its owners or by a direct investment made by stockholders in a corporation. A company would have stockholders if that company sells shares or stock. Retained earnings is a companys' accumulated profits that have been put back or reinvested into the company. Some examples of retained earnings are supplies expense, rent expense, wages expense, interest expense, utilities expense, sales revenue, cost of goods sold, and depreciation expense. A return on equity (ROE) is the net income divided by stockholders' equity. Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity

Cd can you put it into a retirement account now for it to be exempt?

hard to understand you. CDs are perfectly allowable in an IRA. Most IRA trustees will handle them. If a Traditional IRA, the current value of what you put in is currently tax deductible, (within the prescribed limits). The earnings and original contribution are not taxed until withdrawal. (The taxes on principal and earnings aren't exempt..just deferred till received). If a Roth, the current value of what you put in (again within the limits) is after all taxes are paid on that value. (Hence a CD would be worth something different than you paid). Any future earnings and the withdrawal of contribution are not taxable (under current law). (The earnings are exempt..but you paid the taxes on the principle up front).

What is retaining earning?

If you mean retained earnings, that is the total amount the company earns after taxes and dividends to stock holders. Oftentimes, this money is reinvested into the company. It is hardly ever just put away to keep because of the possibility to earn interest on it or investing it in a bigger factory or something like that. Retaining earning simply means that you keep what you earn. After expenses and costs of your company and dividends and interests and taxes.
