If you want regional diversification, APF is the way to go. GCH would be my first choice of the four since China is the 500-pound gorilla in the region now with many years of upside likely.

K-I agree with Paul. I know first hand because I've started a college fund for both my daughters (oldest is 13)with stocks. IRONIC-CAG is in the portfolio (an old recession portfolio pick). We personally try to stay away from high tech. She only own 2 stocks presently (AEPI-CAG). One big winner so far. TWP- TREX-composite decking-Bought when it was trading at 18. Since sold (valuation) because of the run up in the low 40ies. I talk things over with her before we buy something. IMO-Boring is good-they have to learn patience. We try to look for untimely values with dividends or fallen angles with recovery potential. I talked her out of Too- Limited Too-. Were still looking for something with the TWP sale. Were not looking to be day traders here, but we keep a look on things. Well, I really do for her, but involve her in the process. My ten year olds portfolio mirrors what my oldest does.
