Volatility is exciting.
Volatility is all the beginner “sees:” the savageness of a fight, the flash of a dance, the motion in the ocean.
“You could triple earnings in the stock market!”
One change that happens when someone leaves the amateur ranks is that they finish that sentence above.
“I could triple your earnings in the stock market, and you can lose three times your earnings, too.”
Volatility becomes a risk*. Once there, one can choose a better strategy on how to deal with it.
Understanding risk and volatility is the difference between being wowed by the fireworks display to understanding how the act is done.
*I prefer to engage in it to help shape my processes.
