I see and understand your point (volatility can suck if one has exposed his- or herself inopportunely).  However, volatility is "bread-and-butter" or fresh air if someone is trading and can recognize in a chart where the aggregate buying-and-selling has painted a chart.  Stability should be recognized as a chimera if a person values all concerned parties coming to their own conclusions about what is valuable and what is not using their own judgement (rather than relying on some supposedly-authoritative opinion that might not have sound premises).

Moreover, if someone figuratively mortgages the farm and auctions off their own and their posterity's life-savings to pile into a position ** in any single thing -- no matter what it might be ** there is a lesson to be learned in diversification and timeliness of predictions.  Hopefully, such a person manages their affairs more sagaciously in the future.
