While volatile stocks can be nerve-wracking, they often attract aggressive investors who see potential in the chaos. As a matter of fact, almost all mega-cap companies today started as volatile investments before proving their staying power.

At StockStory, our job is to help you avoid costly mistakes and stay on the right side of the trade. Keeping that in mind, here are three volatile stocks that could reward patient investors.
