    I know that free sites like freestockcharts.com use only BATS prints. Maybe yahoo and goog get the data from one exchange? If its free it aint for me anyway. You know the old saying...get what you pay for and all..

    Unreal. He may be the best fader to have ever operated. Sidenote - One out of his four longs is a sector I believe has reached generational lows. So I got that going for me...:D
