python read_data.pyThe above command selects all stocks you can buy with Ksh 5000 (stocks can be bought in lumpsums of 100). It also removes the aims and loss making stocks from the list displayed, and shows stocks with all dividends.
python read_data.py --max_price 10000 --add_aims
--add_loss_makers --minimum_dividend 0.5 --order_by_PE_DPSThe above command selects all stocks you can buy with Ksh 10000. The list will also include aims (alternative investment segment) stocks and also stocks that make losses. It will finally order the stocks by P/E ascending and DPS descending.
