A quick definition of volatility:

Volatility: Volatility refers to the tendency of prices in the stock market to change suddenly and drastically. This means that the value of a stock or other investment can go up or down very quickly and unexpectedly. It is important for investors to be aware of volatility and to understand the risks involved in investing in volatile markets.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Volatility refers to the tendency of prices in the stock market to change suddenly and drastically. It is a measure of how much the price of a security fluctuates over time.

Example: Let's say you own shares in a company that has been performing well and steadily increasing in value. Suddenly, news breaks that the company's CEO is stepping down, causing investors to panic and sell their shares. This sudden drop in demand causes the price of the shares to plummet, resulting in a volatile market.

Another example: A company's stock may experience volatility if it is heavily influenced by external factors such as political instability, economic downturns, or natural disasters. For instance, if a hurricane were to hit a major oil-producing region, the price of oil would likely spike, causing the stock prices of oil companies to become volatile.

These examples illustrate how volatility can cause sudden and extreme price changes in the stock market, making it difficult for investors to predict and manage their investments.
