I would really love to see where you have all your money invested.
I love your blog better than any other. I admire your ability to find interesting stuff and present it simply, numerically, and graphically at lightning speed.
SO of course what prompts this comment is the thing I keep tripping over. Why do you not use logarithmic y-axes when you are showing data that rises orders of magnitude over the time shown?
Michael:
I added a new chart using log scales. I have no problem using logs for my charts, I just wonder if some people will be confused, since most charts are not logged (WSJ, etc.)? But I will take your suggestion and start to use some logged charts.
Would you be able to suggest an explanation to a general audience about the advantages of using logs for charts?
Thanks.
