How hard would it be for them to run a graph of the market cap of APPL and XOM throughout the day, rather than the related, but misleading %change throughout the day, which makes it look like they started equal and diverged from there.

I know that it's not something that's screen capturable with broswing to finance.google, but a little effort people.

Those thin lines make the chart really hard to read.
