Undoubtedly, one of the most volatile stocks recently has been Rite Aid Corporation (RAD). Between concerns about the company's ability to survive long-term on its own and optimism surrounding recent financial performance and expectations for its next fiscal year, it has been all over the place. Certainly with the new year having passed and January well underway, the drugstore chain will make for a fascinating prospect to watch, but long-term investors would be wise to exercise a great deal of caution since the risks for the business are still quite high.
