) might want to consider the historical volatility of the share price. Volatility is galea kindler of hope commander deckconsidered to be a measure of risk in modern finance theory. Investors may think of volatility as falling into two main categories. The first category is company specific volatility. This can be dealt with by limiting your exposure to any particular stock. The other type, which cannot be diversified away, is the volatility of the entire market.
