I've never been to the TAG conference, but have been to OmegaWorld 99, and
Futures West 99. Both conferences were not worth the money and time.
Especially Omega World -- which was one big sales pitch after another, very
little knowledge you can apply. For novice traders who haven't had much
exposure to the literature (i.e. books/magazines/videos, etc..), it may be
of more value -- although I think you are much better off by buying a stack
of trading books and some video courses. For the cost of the conference
($850 or so) you can buy a hell of a lot of trading books from
www.buybooks.com. You woll get much more detail, avoid the sales pitches
for junk that won't help you trade any better, and save hundreds on air
fare / hotel / meals.
Some highly recommeded books:
1) DiNapoli Levels
2) Investing for the Rest of the 90's
3) Market Momentum (Pring)
4) Schwager on Futures (Technical Analysis)
5) Schwager on Futures (Fundamental Analysis)
6) Trading Systems and Methods (Kaufman)
7) Trader Vic - Methods of a Wall Street Master
8) Trader Vic 2 - Principles of Professional Speculation
Also subscribe to the following magazines:
1) Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities
2) Futures Magazine
and buy the CD of back issues from Stocks & Commodities (excellent articles
spanning 20+ years)
Good Luck,
James
