stock = input("Enter the stock symbol (enter 'quit' to stop): ") #Query user for stock ticker


while stock != "quit": #Runs this loop until user enters 'quit' (can do many stocks in a row)
df = pdr.get_data_yahoo(stock, start, now)
close=df["Adj Close"][-1]

This will result in an infinite loop, as the input is only occurring one time, prior to the loop.

so, a user error?

Hi again,
I forgot to send the correct code.
the correct code is

stock = input("Enter the stock symbol (enter 'quit' to stop): ") #Query user for stock ticker
while stock != "quit": #Runs this loop until user enters 'quit' (can do many stocks in a row)
df = pdr.get_data_yahoo(stock, start, now)
close=df["Adj Close"][-1]
stock = input("Enter the stock symbol (enter 'quit' to stop): ")

But i never get beyond the line
df = pdr.get_data_yahoo(stock, start, now)
and get error as described in my first mejl.
what is going wrong?
thanks

As long as your stock is not quit, the loop will continue running. As you have inputted a certain ticker say IBM, and you only have that input, and that inputs never gonna change and will never be "quit", this is why you have an infinite loop.
