Emerging markets ETFs are a little shaky right now also. I'd actually probably recommend holding off for a while before jumping into the market. Investors are showing signs of anxiety and insecurity. It's almost one step forward, two steps back every three days. There could be more potential downturn in the future.
Retail was good these past two days, but that's by no means a surefire sign for a positive economy heading into Christmas and the holidays.
If you want to play it safe, buy something like Procter and Gamble (PG) which you can't go wrong with either way until the market shows it's heading for an upturn.
