Where can I get the best real-time charts for short term swing trading? What is your opinion of Tom Seiden's trading technique?

Why knock the answers? Why not knock the questions? Most of these questions could be answered with minimal research.

Try your toilet paper dispenser. That is all it is good for.

Great call, Mav, great call.

Mav, what option books do you recommend? Is coulda woulda shoulda any good? This has become the ask Mav thread. I guess that is what you get for being so knowledgeable.

Why would anyone listen to analyst recs anyways. They are all idiots.

Do you think GS really gives a shit about the direction of google. Its prop desk trades forex, futures etc. I highly doubt that GS is speculating on goog.

Mav, thank you. Makes sense. Sometimes commonsense is not always common, though, so inexperienced traders (like myself) will take a directional bet at an inopportune time. Thanks for the heads up.

Mav, how does option rotation work. I am not familar.

Do you think the bid/ask system will become exstinct too? I am for having one price on multiple electronic exchanges. If everyone will be on computers, why do you need a bid/ask spread? Who will be the market makers and specialists.

Because now it is all program trading. No good arb opportunities. Just a bunch of maths geeks. Where have all the pure traders gone?

Will floor trading eventually become exstinct? There are no jobs on any of the major exchanges that don't involve computer programming. It is too sad. Computers have ruined trading!
