    Does the trend line go up and down with the prices? Or is it a static line?

    Or maybe a static line that moves?

    The trend line is an average. A moving average would be more meaningful IMO but then I don't run the stats part of the Nationwide BS.

    I believe it is a moving average.
    Does it not move each month to take the last 30 years of data.
    Essentially the latest August 2009 release, meant that the July 1969 data was dropped off.

    Just for fun I looked at the two low points and imagined a straight line running through them to the next low point. I wonder if that could happen?

    It's a very quiet night. If you stare at a graph long enough you can see all sorts of things.

    Typical manipulation by the vested interests of the mortgage backed securities operation there. The underlying trend is masked by the soviet style propaganda actions of a sinister elite operating under an assumed identity. The Snowman represents the pinnacle of the capitalist landlords having driven their tanks up the hill of HPI. From a pleasant land as symbolised by the green tree we wave to the oppressors as they steal our futures, our children's futures, and our children's childrens.. cont. 94

    Snowman? There's Tommy Cooper, a car, a mountaineer and a tree.
