Describe high and low volatility in stock prices.

Simply put, volatility is the range of price change security experiences over a given period of time. If the price stays relatively stable, the security has low volatility. A highly volatile security hits new highs and lows quickly, moves erratically, and has rapid increases and dramatic falls

High volatility is when the price of a security can change over a short period of time, a lower volatility is when the price stays relatively stable.
