I didn't parse the leftward horizontal line as an arrow, but as a point at the end of the line. Regardless, a full-height vertical rule strikes me as a better solution.

$1.22 makes sense. I didn’t parse the leftward horizontal line as an arrow, but as a point at the end of the line. Regardless, a full-height vertical rule strikes me as a better solution.

I’ve added a third version of the graph which moves the line and expands its explanation.

Could be as simple as using values relative to the line's value rather than 0. The graph really ought to somehow show why that line is where it is and why some things are “negative returns”.

The arrow to the left is saying 'left of this vertical line'. I’m pretty sure the break-even line is supposed to be around $1.22. The arrow to the left is saying ‘left of this vertical line’.
