Pretty cool visualisations. Just out of curiosity, why did you choose HighCharts? Did you look at jquery FLOT and choose HighCharts over FLOT? Or were you unaware of FLOT altogether? http://code.google.com/p/flot

It looks like the OP doesn't like CEOs. Fair enough, what with CEOs raking in the moolah while the stock underperforms / short-sighted decisions that pander to the 'analysts' are taken etc. But, the OP also seems to be making the mistake o
