Kforce Implied Volatility

    
  0.76

In a nutshell, if Kforce's implied volatility is high, the market thinks the stock has potential for high price swings in either direction. On the other hand, the low implied volatility suggests that Kforce stock will not fluctuate a lot when Kforce's options are near their expiration.
The fear of missing out, i.e., FOMO, can cause potential investors in Kforce to buy its stock at a price that has no basis in reality. In that case, they are not buying Kforce because the equity is a good investment, but because they need to do something to avoid the feeling of missing out. On the other hand, investors will often sell stocks at prices well below their value during bear markets because they need to stop feeling the pain of losing money.

Kforce Stock Price Prediction Analysis

Have you ever been surprised when a price of a Company such as Kforce is soaring high without any particular reason? This is usually happening because many institutional investors are aggressively trading Kforce backward and forwards among themselves. Have you ever observed a lot of a particular company's price movement is driven by press releases or news about the company that has nothing to do with actual earnings? Usually, hype to individual companies acts as price momentum. If not enough favorable publicity is forthcoming, the Stock price eventually runs out of speed. So, the rule of thumb here is that as long as this news hype has nothing to do with immediate earnings, you should pay more attention to it. If you see this tendency with Kforce, there might be something going there, and it might present an excellent short sale opportunity.
