Bell Curve

Bell curve is a term used to describe the visual appearance of a normal distribution graph. Generally speaking, the most probable events are grouped up in the center, while the less likely events spread out on either side of the center in a declining fashion, giving it an appearance of a bell curve.

There have been suggestions that normal distributions do not totally apply to the stock market as low-possibility events may actually have a higher probability of occuring than the model suggests.
