If you take a longterm view!

'Stocks are unquestionably riskier than bonds in the short run, but for longer periods of time, their risk falls below that on bonds. For 20 year holding periods, the have never fallen behind inflation, while bonds and bills have fallen 3 per cent per year behind inflation over the same time period. So although it might appear to be riskier to hold stocks than bonds, precisely the opposite is true if  you take a  longterm view.'
