Imperial Oil Implied Volatility

    
  32.97  
Imperial Oil's implied volatility exposes the market's sentiment of Imperial Oil stock's possible movements over time. However, it does not forecast the overall direction of its price. In a nutshell, if Imperial Oil'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 Imperial Oil stock will not fluctuate a lot when Imperial Oil's options are near their expiration.
This module is based on analyzing investor sentiment around taking a position in Imperial Oil. This speculative approach is based exclusively on the idea that markets are driven by emotions such as investor fear and greed. The fear of missing out, i.e., FOMO, can cause potential investors in Imperial Oil to buy its stock at a price that has no basis in reality. In that case, they are not buying Imperial because the equity is a good investment, but because they need to do something to avoid the feeling of missing out. On the other hand, investors will often sell stocks at prices well below their value during bear markets because they need to stop feeling the pain of losing money.
