Falkenstein on Risk-Return-Alpha

http://falkenblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/me-on-risk-return-and-alpha.html

My argument is that risk premiums do not exist within almost all asset classes, therefore, it is a reasonable approximation to say they do not exist in general. This does not mean you should not take risk, merely, that you should take risk for other reasons.

Taking risk: try something, fail, move on!

Bad idea to think that: "I am going to be compenstated merely for taking risk!"

A little bit confused.
