In What's Your Margin of Safety?, I write
[Benjamin] Graham's "margin of safety" plays the role in stock market valuation that economists usually assign to something called "the risk premium." However, this is a case of bad economic jargon driving out a useful practitioner's concept. There is no way for most economists, much less ordinary investors, to have intuition about what is a reasonable risk premium. But anyone can grasp the concept of a margin of safety.
Discussion Question. How sensitive is the estimate of the intrinsic value of stocks to the forecast for dividend growth? Does this sensitivity require a large margin of safety?
