I think it depends a lot on the holding period.

Over a 30 year period, volatility of returns on the stock tend to even out (especially where there is a dividend), though you may run into some nasty heartburn at times.

I think there is something to be said for the belief that we overprice the riskiness of stocks (or alternately, underprice the riskiness of bonds).
