Getting more exotic investment exposure with ETFs

Johnathan Clements provides some ETFs in his latest story that will give more exotic (meaning non-U.S. stocks) investment exposure.

Intrigued? Remember, we're talking here about volatile investments. My advice: Don't stash more than 10 percent of your total portfolio in any of the funds mentioned above. In fact, a 5 percent allocation is probably plenty.
