The tax season is over. Hooray! I should be getting back to my normal posting routine shortly. I'm excited. I have some exciting new market stuff to post over the coming months, so stay tuned. By Rick Walter

It's incredible how much garbage is out there and is being hyped and sold by investment professionals. I have at least 200 positions that I follow and track on a regular basis and many of those positions just do not live up to their potential.

Our ETF of the day is the SPDR S&P China ETF Fund , (NYSE Arca: GXC ) This ETF trades on the New York Stock Exchange and is currently trading at $67.62. The Pacific/Asia (excluding Japan) market may still hold promise as a great place to invest, while the US markets continue to recover. This exchange-traded fund excludes investments in Japan which I believe gives the fund a slight performance advantage.
