This has an investor asking Paul why he would take the risk to invest in market segments with historic 5% returns, like international companies, when he could just recommend CDs instead. Paul explains why you can’t compare the average return of international stocks over 20+ years to the return of CDs for the next few years – it just doesn’t add up.
