Hi GV Tucker,

Ref <Unfortunately, I have no idea how the heck any of us can use the above data to make any money. >

Volatility becomes important when you trade options. The option contracts are written based upon the stock volatility

Do you know how volatility of a stock is measured these days ?

Twenty five years ago volatility (Beta) was measured by calculating the "correlation " of the stock with the Dow or other market index.

I was told by someone that today the volatility of a stock is calculated by comparing daily stock price with the moving average of the stock itself.

Can you or anyone else point me to any information on this issue.

Thanks
