It is used to describe the fluctuation in prices of stocks or securities. Statistically speaking, it is a measure of the dispersion or scattering of returns for a stock, security or market index. This means that the price of the security can change dramatically over a short time period in either direction and that too, in a wide range. A lower volatility indicates greater stability in price and less fluctuation within a narrow range. Higher volatility signifies greater risk.<\/p>\n<h2>Measure of Volatility<\/h2>\n<p>Volatility can be measured using the standard deviation or variance.<br \/>\nVariance is used to check the dispersion or spread of returns around the mean of a value (or security\u2019s price). Volatility is a measure to check this variance during a specific period of time. Standard Deviation is the square root of variance. High Standard deviation means greater volatility and vice versa.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volatile or Volatility is a common term associated with stock markets.
