<p>Volatility can be measured as a change in the price between low and high over an arbitrary period of time or as a deviation from a central measure. These concepts are both valid and useful. In other words, the higher the volatility, the higher the risk.</p>

<p id="isPasted">Volatility, in its simplest form, refers to the fluctuation of asset prices.
