Stock Price Charts

What don't stock price charts have the Y axis start at zero? Stock charts almost always have their Y axis limited to the range of activity. As an example, check out any stock on Yahoo Finance. If a stock trades between 20 and 25 during a given time period, the chart's Y axis is from 20 to 25, not from 0 to 25. This makes a stock that is very stable, tading between 80 and 81, look just as volitile as a stock trading from 80 to 160 at first glance. If the charts were grounded at zero, you would immediately see that the stable stock was very different than the volitile one.

How come stock prices in the Yahoo! Finanance charts don't adjust the stock price after a split? Normally I would expect to see the stock price cut in half, but it just seems to stay the same right after a 2 for 1 split as an example. So if a stock was $100/share and then had a 2 for 1 split, they should be $50 a share, but the chart doesn't reflect this price change. What am I missing?

How do they figure out how to chart a stock's price in relation to its earnings? if i saw a chart with a line graph of a stock's earnings and price for the past year or so. how would i know if the stock is overpriced or underpriced. basically what i'm saying is: the y-axes for the two variables are on different scales, how can i make them relate in a meaningful way. clarification: let's say the earnings line on a graph is way above the stock's price on the same exact graph. how do i know that that's because the stock is undervalued with relation to earnings or because the two scales on the y-axes are off. like in peter lynch's book he compares earnings and price on the same graph to make a decision on whether a stock's price is over or undervalued. how would i make a graph like that on my own??

Where can I get stock charts with both price and earnings? Don't think I've ever come across one, and I'd rather not have to check the books every time, especially when they are outdated. Where can I find this? I would prefer one free, but I would like to know all the services that offer this (if it is expensive, I'll just hold off for a few years -- I'm guessing Morningstar, ValueLine, StandardandPoors for starters?). Thanks for your help! Dates of earnings announcements will not help. Thanks anyway. I assume your answer actually meant the ex-dividend date, which would not help either.

How does volume determine the price of a stock? I'm not going to search for highly scientific and technical terms. I just want to know the following: We have a relatively considerable downtrend stock that is suddenly showing a massively high volume change. Does this mean the stock is being bought by huge institutions (mutual funds)? If yes, this logically consolidates the stock and gives it support to start a significant uptrend move, doesn't it? And is the opposite also true? When we have a stock that has been on the rise for a relatively considerable period and now, suddenly, after a lot of action spotted in its volume, the stock begins its downtrend, does this mean the same institutional owners and other traders are losing confidence in the stock? Is the price of a stock pushed upward or downward in relation to the number of people or institutions that own it? Does the volume of a stock only show sheer speculation about that stock? Also, why should I care, in a stock chart, about the P-E ratio? If I know the price of the stock and its EPS, what use can the P-E ratio be? Or is it only there so that you may compare it with the company's previous P-E ratio, kind of like the EPS? Is the overbuying of a stock a good sign?

what are the sites from which we can download past stock charts, fluctuation in pricing, etc?
