This Python script monitors the stock prices of specified tickers using the Yahoo Finance API (via the yfinance library).

If a stock's price surpasses predefined upper or lower limits, a desktop notification is triggered with relevant information. Additionally, a system tray icon is used to provide an option to exit the script.
