Henry, I admit that I did not carefully analyze the graph that tonyt provided. Since tonyt's choice of a 70 month time frame when I had asked about a 24 month time frame was clearly just another evasion (as was the first graph he produced), and since the answer to the actual question seemed clear (i.e. Vical's stock has not performed any better than Ligand's over the time period that tonyt and the nays so often complain about), there didn't seem to be much point in it. I did notice that the charting program used seems to limit one to certain preset choices of time interval, 24 months not being among them. However, you certainly have a point that the time period chosen severely affects the apparent relative performance of the two stocks, as demonstrated by the 40 and 50 month charts: techstocks.com techstocks.com Quite a difference. Thank you for prompting me to look into this further. (And certainly, a genuine analysis of the two stocks as investment opportunities has nothing to do with any of this chartfoolery). Thanks, John
