    No… TSLA was at 108.10 on 1/3. TSLA closed today at 236.86.

    So from the beginning of the year to today (meaning year to date), the stock price is up by 119%. That’s not an arbitrary measurement. YTD is used all the time.

      And so is using the value at the same date last year. Both are really commonly used but display a really different picture.

      Cherry picking is not even about if it’s commonly used or not, it’s about using a specific data point to convey the message you want to.

        A random time at a one year point isn’t commonly used. You compare starts and finishes of quarters YOY, not a random Tuesday YOY

          1 year charts are really common and use the first/last comparison as well as the 52 weeks range.
