I bought into PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy [PBW] which is an ETF composite fund. I got in it in March. It took a big hit early in the year when the Chinese exchange SSEC tanked 50% but is moving up nicely now. I don't think it will be a barn burner but I am up about 12% in 45 days in a somewhat washie market so that is not too bad.

My Brazil fund, EWZ is doing real well. I got out of it after getting a 900% gain over 6.5 years but got back in this year after settling all my house stuff [It pretty much paid for the house, garage addition and toys]. It is very heavy in alternative energy and is growing much like it did earlier.

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.
