Live Oak Implied Volatility

    
  0.84

In a nutshell, if Live Oak'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 Live Oak stock will not fluctuate a lot when Live Oak's options are near their expiration.
The fear of missing out, i.e., FOMO, can cause potential investors in Live Oak to buy its stock at a price that has no basis in reality. In that case, they are not buying Live 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.
