Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Hollyfrontier Corp's stock risk against market volatility during both bullying and bearish trends.

Whereas some other companies in the oil & gas refining & marketing industry are either recovering or due for a correction, Hollyfrontier may not be as strong as the others in terms of longer-term growth potentials.
