Reading market history

Many data sources let you download data in the .csv file format. To understand a stocks performance over time it is useful to analyze its history. Imagine that you want to analyze the history of a stocks performance, looking at it closing prices for the last few months. The first thing you need to do is open the file as a DataFrame. The path to the .csv file containing the data is 'pcdg.csv'.
