International Investing with ETFs

Not to pat myself on the back, but after reading this post on Turkey's outperformance as compared to other emerging markets, I couldn't help but feel good about being right about this post from months ago.

Allright, enough with the back-patting.  The point is that TUR has had a great run and it might be wise to trim part of that position.  From a long-term perspective, however, TUR fits into the international equity portion of a portfolio nicely.  I am currently targeting at least 50% of my portfolio overseas.  I achieve that allocation through a combination of VEA, VWO, GWX, RWX, EWX, country ETFs like TUR, and ADRs.
