Of course I don't know why you're seeking high volatility, but many stocks
have a vola well in excess of what you seemed to have learned so far. Care
to share your game-plan?

I just looked at Natural Gas, it has a 100 day volatility of over 33.6%,
that _is_ high considering the daily volume of 50k+ contracts.

Brent Crude has a 100 day of ~ 25% with a daily of ~ 100k+ contracts,
for comparison the E-mini S&P500 (ESU3) has a 100 day of ~14%
