Volatility is the name of the game
Sayona Mining is a small-cap share with a market capitalisation of $1.39 billion.
ASX small caps are notorious for exhibiting more volatility than mid-cap or large-cap shares.
The appeal of small-cap shares is the potential for outsized growth and returns.
But with higher potential returns comes higher potential risk.
Small caps typically have access to less capital than big companies, leaving them more vulnerable to failure.
Small-cap shares also tend to be less liquid than larger-cap shares, meaning it may take more time to sell them at a price that reflects their value.
