              No one will fault you for using the conventional trend-line
           approach, and I do not have strong feelings on the matter. But

           bring good responses. That in itself might be reason enough to try
           them. But you should seek the advice and talents of a good graphics
           designer to figure out when it is appropriate to use arrows and how

           exactly to deploy them to punctuate your business message.
