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.
Commands
/help
This command just displays a short description of what the bot does and a link to this page.
/news
This command is intelligent enough to get any tickers in the ticker format: $amzn, and can handle as many tickers as you would like to enter. The bot will then return the price of the ticker, and links various websites that provide news about the ticker. Currently the command /news $aapl returns:
The current stock price of Apple Inc. is $**170.89**, the stock is currently **up 0.86%**
Apple is getting so serious about health, it's started hosting heart-health events at Apple Stores
You can now ask Siri to get you directions with Waze so you don't even have to open the app
/dividend
The dividend command will give you the dividend yield, dividend rate, and will tell you how long until the payout date for any tickers input. Currently the command /dividend $psec returns:
Prospect Capital Corporation current dividend yield is: 0.720%, or $11.285 per share.
The dividend is in: 14 Days 1 Hours 54 Minutes 46 Seconds.
