follow//@deal2deal:"VOLATILITY" Volatility is the rate at which the price of a stock increases or decreases over a particular period. Higher stock price volatility often means higher risk and helps an investor to estimate the fluctuations that may happen in the future. Some things that can drive volatility include - (1) Political and economic factors; (2) Industry and sector factors; (3) Company performance. Volatility can mean opportunity, as it can sometimes provide entry points from which investors can take advantage. Downward market volatility offers investors who believe markets will perform well in the long run to buy additional stocks in companies that they like at lower prices.Investing when markets are volatile, and valuations are more attractive, can give investors the potential to generate strong, long-term returns. @TigerEvents
