What kind of tool do you want? Getting quotes is the easy part:
import urllib
symbols = 'ibm jpm msft nok'.split()
quotes = urllib.urlopen( 'http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=' +
'+'.join(symbols) + '&f=l1&e=.csv').read().split()
print dict(zip(symbols, quotes))
The hard part is raising capital and deciding what to buy, sell, or
hold.
