What is Volatility?

What is Volatility?

Volatility is how bumpy the road is. If a stock price changes very quickly—going up 10% today and down 8% tomorrow—it has high volatility. If it crawls up slowly and smoothly, it has low volatility.

Volatility is not the same as losing money; it is just price noise.
