My Challenge Solution + NSString & NSMutableArray accessors

[fsck66]

In addition to what was requested in the challenge, I wanted a way to reference stock name. Also wanted an addToArray accessor as illustrated in the chapter. It took a bit of fiddling with the syntax due to unfamiliarity with the use of non primitive types declarations but the compiler helped. it seems to work…
