I am always checking myself if I am becoming too much like a kid in the candy store with all the single country ETFs...and if I am overly diversified without the upside and thus paying a much higher MER and extra transaction costs and I end up mostly just mirroring a simple EFA and EEM strategy in the first place. I like to pair my asset clases/regions/countries....with an actively managed mutual fund or two or three so I am juggling dozens of funds and ETF's and so am out of control with buying them and looking at some of the new Wisdom Tree ones now...
