Only 1 in 5 investors believe that stocks will rise over the next 6 months. With August unemployment data in the cross-hairs, would a strong showing this week bring bulls back to the ”risk trade?” Or would another “miss” push double-dip campers into Short ETFs?

Some investments, however, have bucked the negative news and disheartening trends. Colombia (GXG) is up 42% in 2010… and this frontier market is not alone. Emerging markets like Chile (ECH), Malaysia (EWM) and Thailand (THD) have been turning in double-digit percentage returns. Clearly, these country ETFs are not close to hitting 52-week lows.
