<p>As you can see I'm inputting stocks for Google and Amazon, but they're not being printed when I run the "-999" to break out of the while loop. Instead, it thinks that "-999" is a Stock name and quits when you enter fake numbers for it and prints those instead. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. </p>

<p>You should break out of the loop as soon as you get -999, instead of continuing the current iteration right until the end.</p>

<p>Secondly you could collect the items in a string and only output that after the loop:</p>

<pre><code>#Initialization
count=0
name=0
result = ''
#Input
while True:
    count=count+1
    test=input("Enter stock name OR -999 to Quit:")
    if test=='-999': break
    name=test
    shares=int(input("Enter number of shares:"))
    pp=float(input("Enter purchase price:"))
    sp=float(input("Enter selling price:"))
    commission=float(input("Enter commission:"))

    #Calculations
    amount_paid=shares*pp
    commission_paid_purchase=amount_paid*commission
    amount_sold=shares*sp
    commission_paid_sale=amount_sold*commission
    profit_loss=(amount_sold - commission_paid_sale) -(amount_paid + commission_paid_purchase)

    #Output
    result += """

print (result);
