The standard deviation essentially reports an investment's volatility, which indicates the tendency of the returns to rise or fall drastically in a short period of time. Volatile securities are considered higher risk because their performance may change quickly in either direction at any moment.  Watching what the professionals, not the typical talking head on the lamestream news, says about a hurricane, is exactly what true, fiduciary-based investment advisors and managers do every day.  The standard deviation essentially reports a fund's volatility, which indicates the tendency of the returns to rise or fall drastically in a short period of time. A volatile security is also considered higher risk because its performance may change quickly in either direction at any moment. If two people each receive a 9% annual return, but one is unhappy, it may be the result of their focus on short-term volatility.  Sam sees his money go up by 20% and down by 10%, on a monthly basis, during the year, ending at 9%.  Joe sees his money settle at 9% but it's never more than 2 or 3% up or down in any one month.  Sam will be frazzled.  Joe, if he ignores the market and understands that he's in it for the long term, well, he'll be fine. 

The same with hurricanes.  You need to be prepared and ready to bug out.  Joe, he has cash and is not married to his stocks.  Sam, well, he's a worry-wart and he'll die sooner than Joe because of stress.  Relax, it is what it is and it will be fine if you stick with the basics.

A shrewd businessman, Naimoli used his years of experience to help negotiate with Major League Baseball and land a franchise for the Tampa Bay region. In 1995, MLB owners voted 28-0 to grant a franchise to Tampa Bay and make them a part of the American League. Naimoli was strongly involved in all facets of the franchise, until selling his majority of the stake in the team in 2005 to the Rays current ownership.
