<<Is this how the market is, now? Was it always that way?>>

Individual stocks are more volatile in the past few years than over the last 20. Internet trading is probably the culprit. Other reasons are A)looking farther out when assessing the fortunes of a company, B) more individual investors, C) the increasing importance of technology stocks, which have faster moving businesses, and D) everything else.

Options are just tracking the volatility of the underlying securities. They also carry richer premiums, which increases the movement.
