Stock Shocker

Inspiration

I intended to have a program that could explain how different stocks were progressing over the period of a year, since that was an issue many had problems with- looking for whether or not a stock was good to invest in.

What it does

It has the user input a stock, and recites how the stock has increased or decreased over the past year. It then gives a brief rundown of whether or not you should go ahead.

How we built it

I used the yfinance module to get info on the most recent stock values, and then took data from the past year for whatever stock the user chose.

Challenges we ran into

Mainly accuracy- there was difficulty in explaining more minuscule changes in stock price

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I was able to create a program that could roughly evaluate whether or not a stock is good.

What we learned

How to use the yfinance module, how to manage Pandas Dataframes

What's next for Stock Shocker

Making it more accurate, to explain more sharp and brief changes in the stock
