Learn to google faggot

A ten Dollar change from 60 to 70 (16.67% change) looks the same as a ten Dollar change from 100 to 110 (10% change).

On Log Scale this means a 10% advance from 60 to 66 looks the same as a 10% advance from 100 to 110, even though the first advance is six Dollars and the second advance is ten Dollars.

arithmatic the vertical axis goes up like 1,2,3,4,5

logarithmic the vertical axis goes up like 0.1,1,10,100,1000

normal chart
10 to 11 is +1
10 to 9 is -1

move by adding/subtracting

log chart
10 to 100 is x10
10 to 1 is /10

move by multiplying/dividing

same idea, just faster
