📊 Stock Portfolio Tracker
📝 Project Overview
The Stock Portfolio Tracker is a beginner-friendly Python project that helps users manage and calculate their stock investments. It uses a predefined dictionary of stock prices and allows the user to input the stock symbols and quantities they own. The program then calculates the total investment value, displays a detailed summary, and gives the option to save results in a text file for future reference.
This project demonstrates fundamental programming skills such as loops, data storage using dictionaries, arithmetic operations, and file handling.
