Where do you draw trendlines, and perhaps more important, when? That’s hard to show in a single chart, because unless you work with trendlines all the time, a multitude of lines just becomes confusing. Fortunately I just found a screen capture video program today.

It’s Open Source (free), and if I can turn out a presentation in an afternoon, it must be relatively easy to use. The name is CamStudio.

As you’ll see, it’s not only the trendlines, but the all-important parallel lines that make the procedure so powerful. You’ll also see why I seldom erase my trendlines during the day.

Since putting up a movie in a blog is a new experience for me, please let me know if there are any difficulties, and if so, what operating system and browser you are using. Comments are below. Enjoy.
