Market volatility represents the natural ebb and flow of an investment’s worth. Over time, solid investments increase in value. However, it’s usually not a steady uphill climb. Some analysts describe the phenomenon as a yo-yo on an upgoing escalator. Due to market forces, a good investment’s worth can dip temporarily, sometimes for prolonged periods of time. In other instances, its value can rise drastically in a short timeframe. The broader market often undergoes similar fluctuations, or periods of volatility.
