Stock-market, continued

Find a company the stock of which you'd like to "fake trade".
Like in the previous module, download the historical data from Yahoo Finance.
Select and then process the data below.
Press space bar to advance to the next day.
Your current day will always be on the right side of the plot. Zoom out if you cannot see the right extreme of the black box.
Press b to buy.
Press s to sell.
Press r to start over.
Transactions are all-or-nothing, for simplicity, and use the random price from the day's range.
Unrealistically, we assume your transaction to have no effect on the stock prices.
