Last Friday I wrote my Sector of the Week column on geographically focused funds
with two of the BRIC countries, Russia and India, topping the list. Templeton
Russia and East European Fund (TRF) and the India Fund (IFN) were the best
performers. The article, which can be found at
http://www.thestreet.com/story/10507072/2/russia-india-funds-top-performance-lis
t.html, listed other regional funds also worth considering. If you do opt for
France, remember to wear sunscreen.

To double your pleasure in the commodities rally, consider DYY. My 2nd favorite
pick here is EWZ. 3rd fave is DBA. i personally don't trust RSX, although i
could've made a mint recently if i HAD trusted it. i was not aware of BIK until
i saw this post. Sounds very interesting.

ILF is a good way to trade both commodities and emerging market although it has
run a lot.
