I like that page. Keep it bookmarked. As you can see, this is the part where Eddie Murphy says they're all afraid they won't be able to afford to get their kids the GI Joe with the kung-fu grip for Xmas.

That's a point and figure chart, the original type kept by real old timers, the kind that by now are dead. Used to be done on graph paper. Only thing it tracks is price, not time. I change the defaults to be percentage, with a box size of 2, meaning each vertical box shows a 2% range. Other than that, like the old timers did.
This little dip barely registers on that thing.
