On the downside, we noted what a rough start to the year India had - it has since recovered some in the past month, but thus far 2011 has been a struggle. Nat gas continues in its multi year bear market.

Bespoke: Chart of ETF Performance in Q1 2011; Go Italia
The always excellent Bespoke Investment Group, put out an excellent chart showing the performance in Q1 of many of the major ETFs. For the S&P 500 it was the best first quarter since 1998, edging out 2010's Q1 with a gain of nearly 5 and a half percent. Mid caps (my sweet spot) and small caps continue to outperform. No surprise was the massive outperformance in silver and energy.... but Italy? Who knew?
