kmx_swing, i hadn't noticed that yet but you're right -- drawing trendlines with the log scale "on" in a chart is a common mistake that creates a lot of distortion, especially in a situation like this where the peak is outside the primary channel. good catch.

** Sorry, you're completely wrong.

No respectable (or knowledgeable) chartist would ever use a linear price scale.

Thats why the best charting service (stockcharts) has a log scale as its baseline, and all trends are drawn on it.
