The figure above presents our live-trading performance, as of January 5, 2009, relative to key market indices since inception (July 3, 2006). The vertical axes reflect the value of an initial investment of $10,000 in terms of dollars and percentage change. The chart is logarithmic, with vertical scale compressed to show changes in percentage terms. A rise from $5,000 to $6,000 takes the same space as a rise from $10,000 to $12,000, since both are 20% changes.
