d. Before the fact, for most assets the risk premium will be positive; investors
demand compensation over and above the risk-free return to invest their
money in the risky asset. After the fact, the observed risk premium can be
negative if the asset's nominal return is unexpectedly low, the risk-free rate is
unexpectedly high, or if some combination of these two events occurs.

d. The statement that T-bills have no risk refers to the fact that there is only an
extremely small chance of the government defaulting, so there is little default
risk. Since T-bills are short-term, there is also very limited interest rate risk.
However, as this example shows, there is inflation risk, i.e. the purchasing
power of the investment can actually decline over time even if the investor
is earning a positive return.
