     - ticker config needs to contain lots, you can just fake the quantity and price...
     - create a cron job that runs this command:
 ticker --config=./.ticker.yaml print --format=csv | awk -vFPAT='([^,]*)|("[^"]+")' -vOFS=, '{print $2 " " $3}' | tail -n +2 > /tmp/stock_ticker
+    - the frequency of the cron schedule is how up to date your stock prices will be. I run it once a minute.
     - make sure that file exists, then run this script..
