Emerging Market ETFs for Late 2010

We are all on the search to bank coin on the emerging market ETFs, and as Bill Luby (VIX and More) points out, there's been some impressive moves in many ETFs this year. The Global X InterBolsa FTSE Colombia20(ETF) (NYSE:GXG), the iShares MSCI Thailand Index Fund (NYSE:THD), and iShares MSCI Chile Inv. Mt. Idx.
