Bank of America Greeks

Most traded equities are subject to two types of risk - systematic (i.e., market) and unsystematic (i.e., nonmarket or company-specific) risk. Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to Bank of America or Banks sector will adversely affect the stock's price. This type of risk can be diversified away by owning several different stocks in different industries whose stock prices have shown a small correlation to each other. On the other hand, systematic risk is the risk that Bank of America's price will be affected by overall stock market movements and cannot be diversified away. So, no matter how many positions you have, you cannot eliminate market risk. However, you can measure a Bank stock's historical response to market movements and buy it if you are comfortable with its volatility direction. Beta and standard deviation are two commonly used measures to help you make the right decision.

Bank of America Volatility Alert

Bank Of America has relatively low volatility with skewness of 1.17 and kurtosis of 3.03. However, we advise all investors to independently investigate Bank Of America to ensure all accessible information is consistent with the expectations about its upside potential and future expected returns. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Bank of America's stock risk against market volatility during both bullish and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Bank of America's stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet. This usually forces investors to rebalance their portfolios by buying different stocks as prices fall.

Bank of America Implied Volatility

Bank of America's implied volatility exposes the market's sentiment of Bank Of America stock's possible movements over time. However, it does not forecast the overall direction of its price. In a nutshell, if Bank of America's implied volatility is high, the market thinks the stock has potential for high price swings in either direction. On the other hand, the low implied volatility suggests that Bank of America stock will not fluctuate a lot when Bank of America's options are near their expiration.

Investors also form their own opinion of Bank of America's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Bank of America's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value.
