Into Thin Air

Recent news articles have mentioned that recent stock prices have been volatile. Or you’ll hear about the stock market’s being volatile. I always understood that to mean that the prices changed rapidly.
One example of that is Virgin Mobile (ticker symbol VM). I bought that stock upon a recommendation from a previously reliable person. I bought at $5.something on 3/27/08 and the stock is now at $2.13 (4/3/08) . Now that I have owned VM, I recall hearing my high school chemistry teacher tell me that volatile means “evaporates readily.” And that is a fitting description of my VM stock.

I think it was the Virgle enterprise that caused the stock price to drop.
