Talk:Volatility

Volatile most certainly is a band from Covington Lousisiana, but they are not notable

I think the sentence "Suppose you notice that a market price index which is approximately 10,000 moves about 100 points a day on average. This would constitute a 1% (up or down) daily movement." in the section "Quick & Dirty (Percentage) Volatility Measurement" is slightly incorrect. There seems to be a confusion between standard deviation and mean absolute deviation.

To do: make a page for chemical volatility. Volatile redirects to this one, but all but one link pointing to it refers to the chemical sense. Securiger 09:25, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I'm not sure more needs to be said here that financial market participants often defined the 'volatility' of a security as the annualised standard deviation. The rest of this article is just an informal collection of bits and pieces.

I just took a bold move and created a new page called Volatility (finance) to broaden the information on volatility as it relates to finance. Plus to give a suitable neutral space to broaden the general meaning of the word volatility as it relates to many different things. --Pt johnston 12:51, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm currently writing about "volatiles" as related to plant biology. This seems far afield from "volatility." J. Frederick 14 Feb. 200969.107.179.66 (talk) 22:10, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
