Volatility: how far a stock's price swings from day to day. A steady utility barely moves, while a name like $NVDA can swing 3% or more in a single session. Bigger swings mean bigger potential gains — and bigger potential losses. That is the price of admission for higher returns. Volatility is not risk itself, but it is how risk feels. Spreading money across an index ETF like $SPY smooths the ride. Not financial advice.
