EquitySmart - Line Charts Introduction


Hello everyone,

This is Jose from EquitySmart.

Today we will be learning how to use a line chart.

For this particular case we will be looking at a 1 year chart for Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA).

Each point on the chart represents the price the share closed for on that day.

By looking at this chart we can see CBA has had a nice steady rise........slowed down a bit........and starting to resume its pace.

You can get a wealth of information for any stock just by looking at its chart, think of each chart as its telling you a story for this company and the effects the industry.

By focusing on the graph as a whole, you can answer questions such as:

  • Do people like this company?
  • Has it fallen out of favour?
  • How high can it go in a short period of time?
