I am playing some foreign country funds. EWA is Australia. RSX is Russia. Both countries economies are heavily dependent on materials, AFAIK. I took profits on the last run up, so my "consolidated cost" is actually much lower.
I think Chile is also a "materials" country, and I just got my feet wet. I also got some EEM, along the same theoretical path.
BCF is "natural resources," and KOL is what it sounds like.
On my recent entries. I'm stuck big on all of them, but it sure feels good to see a turn.
Warren Buffet once said that you should buy index funds, and just hold them. Maybe he meant the S&P?
