I am using Python 3.4. I am trying to do some web scraping at this moment.

Just a remark: you write:
var = (value)
a lot. It's ok, but needless and also slightly prone to turning into a tuple if
there's a stray comma. Anyway...
It would be helpful to have the exact error message. You say "there is an
IndexError: list index out of range", but that can occur in several places in
your code. Normally Python will print a stack trace indicating the specific
place in your code where the exception occurred.
Please always include the complete error message when asking for help.
[...]
print('Now is trading at UP', item.select('.up2')[0].text)
Everywhere you have [0] you may get an IndexError if the select returns an
empty list, because there will be no element 0.
elif item.select('.down2') == item.select('.down2'):
I'm curious: how can this test ever be false?
