- omh 16y agoI agree about the effects of inflation, but why should things be plotted on a logarithmic scale?
- rstonge 16y agoIf you have constant return (e.g. 5%) this will show up as a linear growth function on a log scale. It will be exponential on a normal scale, which over time gets very steep. Using a log scale allows you to compare the growth rates of different investments in a consistent way.
