The y-range is different this why the chart looks flatter. Nobody uses log scale for stock prices. A log scale only makes sense if the range of values is over multiple orders of magnitude (1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, ...).
- ars 11y agoWell obviously the y-range is different! That's the whole point! The data is identical though. A logarithmic graphs show differences (i.e. growth or decline) between values, while a linear graph shows absolute values (i.e. what fraction out of a whole). You do not need multiple orders of magnitude to make logarithmic worthwhile. What matters is the kind of data (change in value, or absolute portion of a whole), not the range.
