Basically, you want items that:

#'''Trade in large volume.''' This is more important if you have smaller amounts of ~~isk~~, as you want quick turnover, but it is generally a positive thing. This is the "Guacamole on the Side" - green bars on the bottom. The more guacamole, the better.

#'''Have good profit margins.''' People sell it for a bit of quick cash, but are willing to pay a lot more to buy it. This is the "patty", or big brown shape, representing the highest and lowest sell/buys. The thicker the patty, the better.

#'''Are used, replaced, and discarded often.''' This is represented by a middle-of-the-road Median price. This ensures you can accumulate and sell inventory with some regularity.

#*"Mustard in the Middle" - represented by yellow squares in the middle of the graph. The mustard should be in the middle of the "patty" as often as possible. This means supply and demand is somewhat balanced.
