Many foreign markets seem overheated, dollar is weak etc., but the emerging markets will continue to emerge, that's for sure. I have no clue (or not enough time to track) which of them I should pick, so I've got a lump investment in VWO. Picking individual country ETF's might be a faster way to earn, but this is far safer. Plus it will catch the countries that I'd never have enough time to study. That's why I gave away country-specific ETF's and have this to cover them all. I'm planning to have it for a long time. I expect to get 15-20 percent per year on average, with moderate risk. Here's the current top countries in VWO: Brazil, Korea, Taiwan, China, Russia, India, South Africa, Mexico, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Israel, Poland, Indonesia, Thailand, Chile, Turkey, Czech Republic, Hungary, Egypt, Peru, Argentina, Philippines and Colombia.
