Typo error ?

The way you wrote:
if portfolio.empty? or not ARGV.empty? and ARGV.first == "-p"
Will treat like:
if (portfolio.empty? or not ARGV.empty?) and ARGV.first == "-p"

I guess you would like to say:
if portfolio.empty? or (not ARGV.empty? and ARGV.first == "-p")

Note:
&& has higher precedence than ||
but "or" "and" both are the same precedence.
