I ran this graph dated back to the last time I was looking for a job, just to compare how well each company has done since then. I never would have predicted this.

    Great example of recency bias in investing/trading.

    Take the same chart and move the slide bar to the left and see how equity performance changes. So you perception of performance will change depending on the timeframe/dataset you're viewing.
