S&P's Emerging Markets Infrastructure ETF has identified the most up-and-coming markets while ignoring those that are bubble-bound. With heavy emphasis on China, Russia, and Brazil, whose economies are on track for major infrastructure investment over the next 5 years, looks for consistently strong gains in this sector.

rebalancing my CAPs portfolio today with some index picks:
20% emerg mkt indices (+/- 5%) 4 long picks
15% developed mkt indices (+/-5%) 3 long picks
25%(net) my equity bets indiv stocks/industries (+/-5%) 4 NET picks (long less short picks)
15% commodity indices (+/- 5%) 3 long picks
20% fixed income (+/-5%) 4 long picks
5% currency strat (+/-5%) 1 long pick

fixed income/commodity/currency picks will smooth out volatility in (the markets and) the equity portion of my portfolio. This should steady my LT performance/CAPs rating overtime. Although "my equity bets" portion are counted as net long picks leftover, I'll try to limit my total outstanding shorts to no more than 50% of my total picks to keep from excessively overweighting my speculation.
