-[add/rm/set] [symbol/USD$] [quantity of shares] [USD spent]
-Either adds, removes, or sets the amount of the given stock with respect to the given values. The parameter add will add your
-input to the current portfolio, rm will subtract from your current portfolio, and set will set your portfolio to the input,
-discarding any existing data about that stock. Trading fees should be factored into "USD SPENT". "Symbol" may also be input
-as "USD$" for US Dollars. This is good for keeping track of how much money is unallocated in your brokerage account. Typically,
-your initial amount of USD can be added as "tick add USD$ [amount] [amount]", where [amount] is the same number. When you are
-paid dividends or capital gains that are not reinvested into a specific security, you should update your portfolio with
-"tick add USD$ [dividend/capital gain amount] 0".
