Pertinent information is required to navigate numerous investment options successfully in the stock market. The chart should be used in making rational decisions when investing in stocks close to the sector average, not going too far from it unless there are compelling reasons to do so. This approach helps to remove emotions from investment decisions and place them on fundamentals, while not being too far from the majority of investors. Buying stocks when the prices are close to the average will protect against overpaying for a stock. The net asset value of each company is incorporated into the chart. Investors can use this measure in assessing stock values. The chart also displays daily stock price changes and percentage year to date price movements based on the last traded prices.
