sine waves aren't strictly an investment thing, they are more of a general math thing and can be used to model a wide variety of stuff (in this case this graph is for investing, but for example it comes up in physics a lot)

Keep going.... Sine waves are not an investment thing. They're a math thing that can be usefully applied to some things (eg. physics) or poorly applied to almost anything (eg. finance/econ).
