Stock Portfolio Tracker

A simple Python command-line tool built for CodeAlpha – Python Programming Internship (Task 2).

Author: Adarsh Singh

Goal

Build a stock tracker that calculates total investment based on manually defined (hardcoded) stock prices.

How It Works

• The user enters stock symbols and quantities.
• Stock prices are pulled from a hardcoded dictionary, e.g.:

  {"AAPL": 180, "TSLA": 250, "GOOGL": 140, "AMZN": 175, "MSFT": 410}

• The program calculates the total value of each holding and the overall total investment.
• The user can optionally save the summary to a .txt or .csv file.

Key Concepts Used

• Dictionaries
• Input/Output (user input, console output)
• Basic arithmetic
• File handling (optional .txt / .csv export)

How to Run

1. Make sure you have Python 3 installed.
2. Download stock_portfolio_tracker.py from this repo.
3. Open a terminal in that folder and run:

   python stock_portfolio_tracker.py
   

4. Follow the on-screen prompts to enter stock symbols and quantities. Type done when finished.

Example Run

Stock symbol (e.g. AAPL): AAPL
Quantity of AAPL: 10
Stock symbol (e.g. AAPL): TSLA
Quantity of TSLA: 5
Stock symbol (e.g. AAPL): done

----- Portfolio Summary -----
AAPL: 10 shares x $180 = $1800
TSLA: 5 shares x $250 = $1250
------------------------------
TOTAL INVESTMENT: $3050
------------------------------

Save results to a file? (y/n): y
Save as 'txt' or 'csv'? csv
Saved to portfolio_summary.csv
