Possibly because it's not really a bug?  Run interactively (as I just
ran it), it's useful to know which stocks are being looked up where--and
of course error output is never gratuitous.  Run from cron, it's simple
enough to send stdout & stderr to /dev/null (although smarter to send
stdout only--cron will send a mail with stderr if there's an error,
which lets one know that something's up).
