PerfCharts are the classic way to create performance charts that can compare up to 10 different securities using daily data. These are nifty because users can dynamically change the look-back period with the slider at the bottom. Users can also view these as line charts or in histogram format. The PerfChart below shows the performance for six different commodity ETFs in 2010. Users can even choose from a set of look-back options by clicking the slider with the right mouse button.
