Let’s talk about stock market volatility because we have seen some extraordinary volatility lately. \u00a0Let\u2019s start by recalling the basic axiom of investing in common stocks: If you want the so-called equity risk premium, then you should expect stock market volatility and, in fact, welcome it. It\u2019s completely counterintuitive.<\/p>

Without volatility, you wouldn’t get the excess return over fixed-income on common stocks. Yes, we’ve entered a period of heightened volatility, as is shown in this chart. Volatility is much higher than before the pandemic. Spikes of 3% in the S&P 500 have occurred more often since Covid-19 struck, as shown in this chart.<\/p>

We experienced a period of low volatility for much of 2021. However, in recent months, stock price volatility surged.\u00a0 What\u2019s difficult is understanding why investors should be happy when stocks periodically shed value sharply. Otherwise, the long-term returns on stocks would not make financial sense. This is why a risky investment like stocks paid a premium over U.S. Government guaranteed fixed-income securities.<\/p>

\"5078<\/a><\/p>

Subtracting the annual return on government-backed U.S. Treasury-bills from the return on the Standard & Poor\u2019s 500 index, the resulting 8.7% is the premium paid annually for taking the risk of owning U.S. stocks over the 20 years.<\/p>

To be clear, investing in America\u2019s 500 largest publicly held companies in the past 20 years ended September 31, 2022, earned an average of 8.7% more annually than a risk-free investment. Investors were paid a premium for many generations for owning U.S. stocks, which are risky.<\/p>

Amid a bear market that is not expected to end while the Federal Reserve is still raising lending rates to slow the economy, which will put people out of work and tamp down inflation, try to be happy about it.<\/p>
