Within 2-4 yrs. the alternative energy will be in full force!

Cleantech is going to see strong growth once the economy picks up some. Stimulus money + VC money also.

Alt. energy bubble

I think that Alternative Energy market will only continue to grow as Oil Peak and Global Warming affect our energy supply choices. ETFs are a good way to add diversity while minimizing fees. So I'm snapping up a few Alternative Energy focused ETFs with high outperform ratings while they are near their 52 week lows and I'll ride them into our, hopefully much greener future!

Renewable Energy Rules

One of the newer offerings in terms of alternative energy ETFs is the Market Vectors Global Alternative Energy ETF (GEX). This ETF is based on the stocks of 30 companies that are involved in alternative energy. This can include anything from technological development of alternative energy to the production of biofuels. The only requirement is that at least 50% of the companies' revenue comes from alternative energy activity. The need for exclusively environmental behaviors is not necessary. Some of the companies tracked include Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings, Inc. (AVR), Headwaters Incorporated (HW), Evergreen Energy Inc. (EEE), and VeraSun Energy Corporation (VSE). The Global Alternative Energy ETF is designed to track the Ardour Global Index (AGIXL).

ETFs do come with fees, even though they are traded as stocks. And while the Market Vectors Global Alternative Energy ETF is too new for a Morningstar rating, the fees associated with the ETF include a management fee of about 0.65% annually. It is also worth noting that GEX offers something that is a little different from other alternative energy ETFs, namely an emphasis on large caps. Most other alternative energy ETFs rely on small to mid caps. Additionally, GEX has a rather international reach: less than 42% of the companies in the ETF are American (most are European).

MISC

Hope that alt energy will pick up the way that stem cell stocks have.

Think this is a long term pick...sounds good

Solid global play in the alternative energy field. Diversification through this ETF make it a strong pick for good growth over the long term.

Global Alternative Energy ETF

Long term hold only. In the short term this ETF may seriously suffer. Basically if you own a business or are a home owner and you hit these troubled times you don't have to money to buy the latest and greatest in order to save money later. You have to tighten your belt a notch and deal with what's in front of you, but when the markets turn having bought this at a discount will put money back in your purse.
