Here you go...off on another nonsense rant.

Who cares how you calculate stock price change in your head?

The point is...in a visual display for other people...you shouldn't expect them to have to compute the percentages in their head...never mind having to explain it.

Just show them an honest chart!

The only reason not to show an honest chart is to deceive...period.

A logarithmic chart shows the true percentage changes at a glance...everyone understands price change in context...instantly.
