On this week's podcast Paul addressed a couple of very important questions:
1. Is there really such a thing as a buy and hold investor?
2. What can an investor do to improve their chances of staying the course through all market cycles?
3. Many of your portfolios don’t include international equities.  Should investors use portfolios that don’t include any international funds?
