A simple yet powerful command-line Stock Portfolio Tracker built with Python that allows users to calculate their investment value using predefined stock prices and optionally generate a portfolio report.
The Stock Portfolio Tracker is a command-line application developed as part of the CodeAlpha Python Programming Internship.
The application enables users to:
- View available stock prices
- Add multiple stocks to their portfolio
- Calculate total investment value
- Generate a detailed investment report
- Save the report as a text file
This project demonstrates the practical implementation of Python dictionaries, loops, functions, conditional statements, file handling, and user input validation.
✅ Interactive command-line interface
✅ View available stocks and prices
✅ Add multiple stocks to a portfolio
✅ Automatic portfolio value calculation
✅ Detailed investment summary
✅ Optional report generation (.txt)
✅ User-friendly menu system
✅ Input validation and error handling
