comparisons are odious (but sometimes curiously enthralling)

The above chart shows readership figures and page views for The Heelers Diaries over the past twelve months.

The above graph shows the share price of the Johnston Press over the same twelve monthly period, roughly beginning at the point when the company fired me from the Leinster Leader. I had worked at the Leinster Leader for ten years. The Johnston Press had owned the Leinster Leader for less than two years. I ask you gentle readers of the internet. Does something here not quite add up? Compare the two graphs. Now ponder for a moment. Do you think, is it even marginally possible, that the wrong people have been getting fired?

The share price of the Johnston Press this morning in London is 15 and three quarter pennies.
