write me a script that will gain me passive income over time. make it so i can run it from my kali linux terminal
Creating a passive income script or algorithm can be quite complex and highly dependent on various factors, including the market, your investment principles, risk tolerance, and the specific tools or platforms you're willing to use. Below is a simple illustrative example of a script that could help automate the tracking of stock prices and notify you when they reach a certain target, allowing you to take action on investments. This doesn't guarantee passive income, but it helps you manage your investments better.
Let's say you want to track stocks and get notifications via email when they reach a particular price. We can use Python with the `yfinance` package to get stock data and `smtplib` to send emails.
### Prerequisites
1. Install Python (if not already installed).
2. Install necessary libraries:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
pip3 install yfinance
```
3. Make sure you have a working email account to send notifications. This example uses Gmail, so you would need to enable "Less secure app access" in your Google account to allow the script to send emails.
### Create the Script
Create a new Python script file, e.g., `stock_tracker.py`:
```bash
nano stock_tracker.py
```
Add the following code in the script:
```python
import yfinance as yf
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
import time
# Function to send email notification
def send_email(stock, current_price, target_price):
sender_email = "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it."
receiver_email = "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it."
password = "your_email_password"
subject = f"Stock Alert: {stock} Price Alert"
body = f"The price of {stock} has reached {current_price}, which is above your target of {target_price}."
msg = MIMEText(body)
msg['Subject'] = subject
msg['From'] = sender_email
msg['To'] = receiver_email
with smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.gmail.com', 465) as server:
server.login(sender_email, password)
server.send_message(msg)
# Stock you want to track
stock_symbol = "AAPL" # Apple Inc.
target_price = 150.00 # Your target price
check_interval = 60 # Check every 60 seconds
while True:
stock = yf.Ticker(stock_symbol)
current_price = stock.history(period='1d')['Close'].iloc[-1]
print(f"Current price of {stock_symbol}: {current_price}")
if current_price >= target_price:
send_email(stock_symbol, current_price, target_price)
print(f"Email sent! {stock_symbol} has reached {current_price}.")
break
time.sleep(check_interval)
```
### Replace these placeholders:
- `This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.`: Your email address from which you want to send notifications.
- `This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.`: The email address that should receive the notifications.
- `your_email_password`: The password for your email account.
### Running the Script
To run the script, navigate to the directory where your script is located and execute:
```bash
python3 stock_tracker.py
```
### Important Notes:
1. **Customizing the Stock and Target Price**: You can change the `stock_symbol` and `target_price` variables to track different stocks.
2. **Email Security**: Be cautious with hardcoding passwords. Consider using environment variables or a secure vault for handling sensitive information.
3. **Limitations**: This script only notifies you when the price hits your target. You need to manage the buying/selling part manually unless you want to implement additional trading logic.
4. **Market Risks**: Be aware of the risks involved in trading and investing. Always do your research before making financial decisions.
This example provides a foundation for automating aspects of stock tracking but won’t directly generate passive income. To work towards passive income, consider investing gradually in assets like index funds or rental properties while using this script to support your investment decisions.
