Tracking Coke's Stock Price

Candlestick charts are a mainstay of financial analysis. They allow price and cursory volatility analysis to be performed all in one view. This view of Coke's stock price is a great example.

You can see a massive jump in Coke's stock price on February 25th, 2010 after a productive end to labor negotiations. Other less eventful days are shown much smaller on the chart, with February 24th and January 11th in particular showing very little change.
