Rather than comparing charts or raw numbers you can easily see how each company is trading relative to its peers. I particularly like the feature of limiting it to a specific sector. The only part of this I dislike is that percent change is effectively represented in two ways: Color for overall percent change and speed for percent change relative to the market.
