There is a guy named John Bollinger who appears on CNBC from time to time. He popularized the stock market paractice of bounding stock market prices with a two-sigma variance range. This results in a line above and a line below the actual plot of price movement. When the actual price touches the upper two-sigma variance line, it is a signal the price has moved too far to fast. The inverse is true when the actual price falls to the lower limit. The technique has been nicknamed "Bollinger Bands" by Wall Street technicians who use past price movement to predict short term future variations. Could that be why the Bollinger name is familiar?
