Thanks Dale. It looks like an excellent site. I've bookmarked it and will be checking it out. If one were to buy just one Asian ETF, do you have a favorite of your four? My preference would be for the lowest cost one that has the best diversity and representation of this important region, be it growth or value, big or small cap. - Kris

Dale, I was checking out the Asian ETFs you mentioned here and in earlier discussions with Jay or Julius Wong(?) No doubt those selections would have been great to own during the last 6 months! Looking at the volatility in the last 10 years, it looks uncommon for these vehicles to follow on with major increases two years in a row. The Thai fund is up over 128% to Sep 30 this year, Singapore +46%, Greater China +76%. I appreciate the strengthening Asian currencies relative to US buck are likely to continue and also the value of boosting international, especially Asian exposure, but wonder whether it's too late to get in here. What gives you confidence at these levels? --Paul
