Talk:Risk premium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are two basic approaches to using an equity risk premium -- looking at the historic mean of risk (versus a riskless investment such as a Treasury Bill or Bond) or simply guessing at what the rate will be in the future based on recent market action.

[edit] Risk Premimum vs. Minimum risk premium

I have noticed an error in this article's theme. There is a difference between risk premium and minimum acceptable risk premium. I think the minimum acceptable rate of return article is where we need to establish a context for the concept of a minimum risk premium, and I think references to minimum risk premiums probably should be minimized in this article. Any thoughts? Nova SS 21:51, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
