Does volatility of a stock increases with increase in its price?
a 10% channel will be much wider if the stock trades at $80 than at $10..does that mean volatility increases with increase in price?

Hmmm. If we use beta as an indication of volatility and do filter on a stock data base based on stock price and beta we should find the answer.

I use Fidelity's data base.

Of stocks selling at less than $10 a share, there are 2574 in the data base and of those 500 have a beta of greater than 2 or 19.4%

Of stocks selling at less than $20 a share, there are 4317 in the data base and of those 650 have a beta of greater than 2 or 15%

Of stocks selling at greater than $50 a share, there are 778 in the data base and of those 36 have a beta of greater than 2 or 4.6%

Of stocks selling at greater than $100 a share, there are 105 in the data base and of those 10 have a beta of greater than 2 or 9.5%.

It rather appears that the less pricy the stock the higher the volatility by a significant amount but it also appears that there is a price range somewhere around $50 perhaps where the volatility is at the minimum.

That sort of begs the question of what price range has the lowest volitility.

It appears to be the price range from $60 - 70 a share. Only 3 of 60 stocks in that range or 1.8% have a beta of greater than 2.

I am not sure that it does.

Not necessary.....infact it seems the stock becomes less volatile if it's price goes higher....Just an observation...

If you measure volatility in dollars, volatility usuallly increases as the price increases.

If you measure volatility as a percentage of the price, volatility usually decreases as the price increases.

Option trading is all about volatility. When option traders measure volatility they measure it as a percentage of the price.

Example

The $10 stock may have a volatility of $6, or 60%, while the $80 stock may have a volatility of $16, or 20%. To an options trader the $6 stock has a higher volatility, while if you prepared a graph of the two volatilities (in dollars) on a graph the $80 stock would appear to have a higher volatility.
