the mean must be equal to the 'forward price' of the underlying value. The volatility number that we use for the UV is about 1 SD price change, in a percentage, for a period of one year. Example When a stock has a forward price (in 1 year from now) of 120.00 and a volatility of 20% then, the SD is 24.00 (20% * 120.00). This means that we can expect that the share in 1 year -2 out of 3 times- will be trading somewhere between 96.00 and 14,00 (120.00 plus or minus 24.00). 19 out of 20 times a price between 62.00 and 168.00 can be expected (120.00 + or - [2*24.00]). And a price between 38.00 and 192.00 (120 + of - [3*24]) can be expected in 369 out of 370 occurrences.
