Getting a Stock Quote
Anytime the Bot is in your chat it will search all chats for $ followed by a ticker. For example $tsla will return the following message for Tesla Motors:
The current stock price of Tesla Inc. is $321.35, the stock is currently up 2.7%
This works no matter where the ticker is in the message and you can have as many tickers as you want in the same message. For example:
I wonder how $aapl, $nflx, and $sono are performing today.
Will return:
As long as the bot is in your chat it will reply to any stock tickers in your messages.
