Question 92 / 96:  *How do successful speculators reduce the volatility of stock prices?
Answer: 

A stock price is volatile when it bounces around a lot, rather

than moving within a narrow band. Stock speculators, if they

are profitable, tend to reduce the band in which a stock price

moves. If a stock price is above where it "should" be, the astute

speculator will sell it, pushing down the price. If the price is

originally too low, the astute speculator will buy the stock,

pushing up the price.
