Not just currency

This is wrong in a number of ways. First, volatility is not limited to currencies. Second, volatility risk is not volatility. Volatility risk is a very specific term for the risk of a price change of an asset based on a change of volatility of one of its underlyings. Thobitz (talk) 19:08, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why focus on currency volatility ? That gives a wrong idea of volatility, which exists on all financial asset market.

And why focus on apparently bad consequences of currency volatility ? Fixed exchange rates are much more dangerous, as when devaluation occurs, the change in value is much more important than just volatility.

Btw, there are method to hedge agains volatity, they should be explained here. --Pgreenfinch 18:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
