the flat or rounded part of the curve Explanation: Your sentence says it: if you drive the price too far below the round part of the curve, representing the current price, this front or rounded part of the curve will look too low. Picture the curve in your mind as if it were a child's drawing of a mountain [not ending in a peak, but rounded]. If your price goes too far below the rounded part [forget about the sides] then the curve will look sort of flat with respect to the level ground. This is how I interpret it, don't know if I made any sense or succeeded in explaining myself. |

the beginning of the curve Explanation: If you start the graph with a low price the curve will also be low, then it may go up or down, it goes up if prices rise and down if prices fall, further down the curve is used to describe the last part of a falling curve. For example, you are now at $85, further down(if it goes down) it falls (prices fall) to $ 70. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 54 mins (2008-03-08 20:38:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- and back of the curve is generally the end. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2008-03-08 23:25:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, what Gary says is that in Emily's text there's a comma missing after $80, and that would make it clearer. |
