From the Author: Six Things You Need to Know About Option Volatility 1. Option volatility is the direct result of an inefficient marketplace. It’s the collective product of people's fear, irrationality, and outlook on the market. 2. Option volatility is persistent in nature. Periods of low or high volatility tend to remain for far-reaching and extended amounts of time. 3. A sudden change in option volatility can quickly alter your emotions. It can trigger fright and dull the brains ability to make wise decisions. 4. Baseball has a saying, “The ball will always find you.” Option trading has a similar saying, “Option volatility will eventually find you.” Volatility will inevitably strike you when you are least prepared. 5. Option volatility is a great unknown. No matter what is said, modeled, or written about it, volatility simply cannot be forecasted. 6. Option volatility amounts to risk – and that risk is derived from the notion of randomness that surrounds us.
