For example, if you were interested in purchasing stock from a company that has a large presence in Atlanta. You would consider Atlanta traffic reports as an indicator of how likely people are driving to work and using their products or services. It would, in turn determine your willingness (or unwillingness) to buy or sell their stock.
This hypothetical scenario shows how risk (riding through Atlanta traffic) and an indicator of market volatility (shifting work habits due to changes in traffic patterns) can have a direct impact on your portfolio management strategy.
