It could also be that the greater information, and ease (and cheapness) of trading has made it so people are more willing to buy. With internet pricing and online trading it's easy to set a buy order for whatever price you want. So we end up with less inefficiency in trading, where if someone wants to sell or buy, the price has to change a lot in order to find a willing counter party. Bringing more people into the market increases liquidity, which I think could be expected to lower volatility as we've been seeing.
