Because if a price doesn't change for more than a week, then some weeks
will have bad statistical distribution (i.e not including prices which
only have their 'modified' updated). So I (think I) need to (1) generate
the weeks separately and (2) average prices that are current for each
week.

But I could be missing something obvious.
