Coping with queasiness
Article Abstract:
It has been easy to make money from US stocks during much of the 1990s, but there are fears that this could change as a result of changes in interest rates or in the value of the US dollar. US stocks are expensive, and the equity risk premium may be too low. The US trade deficit could push down the value of the US dollar, which could in turn affect stock prices. Even so, US stocks have tended to recover after prices have fallen, and there are arguments that a lower equity risk premium is justified. Smaller companies have tended not to see price rises to the same extent as larger companies, and could offer investment opportunities.
