Portfollio Recomendation for Aggressive Investor

You should have at least 25-30% in foreign markets. It doesn't look like you own any REIT's, I would make that aboutat least 5% of my portfolio as well.

Is this easy to do through an online broker like Scottrade? I myself am 100% invested in US markets. I do have real estate investments to counterbalance them, however.

Yes there is an Ishrae ETF for about every country you might want to invest in. Visit Ishares.com for a complete list.

Rather than on a per country basis, you should just get a couple broad index funds, like an emerging markets or developing markets fund.
