Year to Date Metals Pricing

Just threw together some YTD charts for gold and silver and wanted to share.



Both charts are in a nice consolidation phase after price run ups this year.

Ideally it breaks up from here, which would be a great time to buy, and runs into 2017.

The longer we stay in this consolidation phase though the better, assuming a break for the positive of course still. . . . 

Still having some trouble with the web scraper and database program.

Tried updating it by taking my old code and pasting together a new one, but ended up with a problem in one of the loops if not more.  Going to have to just program it from scratch like the last one and make sure the data is handled properly.

That's one of the few faults of Python programming language.  It is so easy you can just copy and paste your way to success in just a few hours after hearing about it.  Easy to get in deeper than you realize before you can back out.  Me, I am going to scrap the program I wrote and start over.  No throwing good money (or time) at it.  It is broke and I don't feel much like fixing it.  Going to start over.
