You are mathematically wrong. You cannot draw straight lines on a logarithmic graph, especially for such a long time. A line tends to curve downwards as it goes up along the Y axis. This graph makes no sense.

@Renzo68,
How is mathematics violated if some one has its own definition of charting trends?
Probably you mean something else. Please expand on it.

@Renzo68, Exponential functions plot on semilog graphs as straight lines
It may be a curved line on linear scale that is shown as a straight line on semilog scale. No problem. This is how I measure trends!
The semilog scale is just a way of showing % changes. Without semilog the move from $1 to $2 looks the same as the one from $45,000 to $45,001. The first is a 100% move and the last just 0.002222222%
