Its price movements have been less extreme in the near term.
|
||||
Again referring to Figure 36-2, note that shortly after point A, the stock jumped
|
||||
much higher over a short period of time. Price action like this increases the implied
|
||||
volatility dramatically. And, at the far right edge of the chart, the stock had stopped
|
||||
rising but was swinging back and forth in far more rapid fashion than it had been at
|
||||
most other points on the chart. Violent action in a back-and-forth manner can often
|
||||
produce a higher historical volatility reading that straight-line move can; it's just the
|
||||
way the numbers work out. So, by the far right edge of the chart, the 10-day histori
|
||||
cal volatility would have increased rather dramatically, while the longer-term meas
|
||||
ures wouldn't be so high because they would still contain the price action that
|
||||
occurred prior to point A.
|
||||
At the far right edge of Figure 36-2, these figures might apply:
|
||||
l 0-day historical volatility: 80%
|
||||
20-day historical volatility: 75%
|
||||
50-day historical volatility: 60%
|
||||
l 00-day historical volatility: 55%
|
||||
With this alignment of historical volatilities, one can see that the stock has been
|
||||
more volatile recently than in the more distant past. In Chapter 38 on the distribu
|
||||
tion of stock prices, we will discuss in some detail just which one, if any, of these his
|
||||
torical volatilities one should use as "the" historical volatility input into option and
