If you think the macros factors are positive and say sure - even now they are good buys, you think the risk is low. That being the case, would you agree options on these ETFs would be the way to go? Note: they are all way above (20%) their 200 trailing day averages... Would you still buy these EEM, EFA, IWN, VTI, ICX?

The ETF's he mentioned are a pretty good way to diversify throughout the world. I own VTI and will start adding more emerging markets. I have to agree with all the choices as well.

The only ETF mentioned in that article that I no longer own is ICF, which I held briefly in 2006 and decided to sell at 102 after George (of FatPitchFinancials) suggested I look closer at its valuation, and I realized I didn't understand REITs enough to be involved. Anyway, thanks for the link to Stein's article. At any rate, he can certainly justify buying those ETFs better than I can. Mine is really more opportunistic buying.
