Lance Roberts: Equity risk premium in U.S. and Japan offers limited stock compensation — Stocks barely compensate risk in U.S. and Japan

Lance Roberts observes that in the U.S. and Japan, the equity risk premium has been compressed to the point where stocks barely reward investors for taking on more risk compared to bonds.

He notes that, historically, such phases have often ended unfavorably for those aggressively pursuing equities.

But we saved everything 🙂.

Roberts recently reported that S&P 500 earnings rose 30% year-on-year in the second quarter, despite persistent bearish sentiment indicators. In a separate analysis, he reviewed Nvidia's latest earnings and discussed recent trading strategies. These updates provide context to his ongoing assessment of risk and reward in equities.
