A logarithmic graph scales by gain/loss per dollar, which is often more illuminating than the gain/loss per share.

E.g. a $10 share going up to $20 is much better for investors than a $110 share going up to $120, even if the absolute gain is the same.




Ah, so it's a badly-worded view. It could be called a "gain/loss graph".

That perspective would be much more useful in business. It's so useful that car dealerships have been fighting the same idea - the change from MPG to Gal/100mi.
