Currently, they are trading at 0.7 times the value of large caps, which represents a 30% discount. Remember diversification is not just a strategy; it's a foundational element of prudent financial planning, designed to manage risk and enhance the potential for returns over time. #smallcaps #valuations #insights #macro #opportunities #discounts

Since March 9th, 2009, where stocks bottomed following the Global Financial Crisis, there have been 28 previous pullbacks of at least 5% for the S&P 500. Impressively, despite these setbacks, stocks are up 644% on a price basis alone and over 900% including dividends over that entire period. Volatility and pullbacks like we saw in April are completely normal and expected, but it's the long-term vision of your financial plan that matters most. Remember, investing is a marathon, not a sprint. #financialplanning #investing #longtermgoals

Calculating the risk premium can be done by taking the estimated expected returns on stocks and subtracting them from the estimated expected return on risk-free bonds. Estimating future stock returns is difficult, but it can be done through an earnings-based or dividend-based approach, or by using the price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio. Calculating the risk premium requires some assumptions that run from safe to dubious.
