| Another flaw: The Y-axis should be log scale. In any stock market chart for 5+ years, the Y axis should be log-scale. The stock market tends to go up exponentially over time. If you don't use a log scale, then old prices look flat while recent changes are distorted. (^DJI interactive chart max time interval) http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=^DJI+Interactive#{%22rang... Notice how, on the linear scale, the 1987 crash looks like nothing, but on the log scale, it's obviously one of the biggest dips. The OP makes the same error. Private equity valuations go up exponentially over time for the same reason that the stock market goes up exponentially over time. Since his time horizon is more than 5 years, the Y-axis should be log scale. He's artificially exaggerating more recent gains by using a linear scale. Also, with a log scale, he wouldn't need to use a different chart for seed/A/B/C/D. |
