Must be a stock or fund that is socially responsible.
5 – 15 year held investment.

Seems like the timing is right for this type of investment. Any ideas? Specific funds or ways to find them?

When you keep your savings in a Traditional Bank like Washington Mutual or First National Bank of Omaha, you will probably only get something like 2% per year returns. The banks reinvest these funds and make a fortune. If you’d like to learn these same tactics, there’s a system available called the Best Investments In The World Home Study Course that will show you.

When you let a bank control your money, you lose money, and sadly enough, most people do not even know this. Of course the banks offer such awesome customer service so you never pull out your funds. And why wouldn’t they. They just reinvest it in the same places this course teaches and make incredible returns doing so. Once you master the art of Leveraging Assets, you’ll have a nice sense of security about your finances for the rest of your life.

One alternative to the difficult work of stock selection is to invest in mutual funds. With thousands of mutual funds to choose from, how can you tell which ones are the best?

That’s why I have compiled a list of the 7 Best Mutual Funds for 2009. After researching the performance, stability, and income of hundreds of top-rated funds, I found the best mutual funds to invest in for 2009 and beyond.

Hillary would transform our economy from carbon-based to clean and energy efficient, jumpstarting research and development through a $50 billion Strategic Energy Fund and doubling investment in basic energy research. She would also spur the green building industry by funding the retrofitting and modernization of 20 million low-income homes and take concrete steps to reduce electricity consumption, including enacting strict appliance efficiency standards and phasing out incandescent light bulbs.

Recognizing that transportation accounts for 70 percent of U.S. oil consumption, Hillary would increase fuel efficiency standards to 55 miles per gallon by 2030, but would help automakers retool their production facilities through $20 billion in “Green Vehicle Bonds.”

Right now my best conclusions are to get a DRIP Program set up for a spider or mutual fund or maybe even just stocks on the following Backbone Stocks: GE, Goldman Sachs, Proctor & Gamble, Phillip Morris/Altria, AT&T and Exxon/Mobil.

I’m thinking of the DRIP Programs because if the stock I buy stays low, I’m still getting dividends paid to me.

So far I’ve researched Fuel Cell Energies, which partly runs on natural gas. I’ve also researched Solar Powered Energies which as we know relies on the Sun…What are some good long term stocks or funds within alt. energies?
