> Honestly, I hate that about stock charts. They adjust the axes and scales so that the graph itself provides no information. If a stock chart "provides no information," why do you believe the financial world uses them to communicate the movement of a stock over a period of interest? Do you believe that financial analysts do not understand how to communicate stock movements to each other? > Did it go up 1 point? 200 points? 5%? 50%? You can’t tell, because the graph is just a scale free squiggle. I don't know what stock charts you've been looking at, but all the common ones list the stock's price on the y axis, making it easy to answer all of the questions you pose. For example, consider what a Bloomberg Terminal gives you [1] or what you get from Google Finance [2] or from Yahoo! Finance [3]. Take a look at the y axes. See those labels?
