On the Other: Volatility of the Stock Market

During the great recession of 2009, the stock market was one of the most unpredictable investments for people. From September 2009 to January 2010, Regis' stock mostly stabilized in the $15 to $17 range without much movement either way. However, Regis operates high-end hair-styling salons inside of malls, and the possibility that people can no longer afford to get hair cuts at these types of salons increases the possibility that Regis' stock may drop.

Bottom Line

Any investment in the stock market is usually not considered safe and typically falls into the high-risk category. While Regis' stock seems to have stabilized, it also does not seem a person will receive too much of a return on their investment. Investing in Regis is not a very good idea, and potential investors should continue to monitor this stock before putting any funds into it.
