I still claim that I can produce visual similarity between any two inverted v shaped graphs. But then tech analysis claims that shape of graphs determines the future, so what do I know... On a more serious note, the graph similarity may have justification if you base it on "madness-bust" theory - i.e. all of these stocks were crowd darlings that went through exuberance and disappointment phases.
