7 Green Energy Stocks for the Obama Rally

Clean Power Stocks set to lead 2009-2010 Bull Market

6 Green Energy Funds positioned for longer term growth

Though clean energy shares have been dropping like they were heavy oil exploration companies during recent weeks, and major signs of capitulation were exhibited over the past few days, somebody with a longer-term perspective should at least consider a dollar cost averaging program. Anybody who set up one of these plans in recent weeks is considered brave, yet isn't she also more prudent than someone who would begin such a plan after the market had risen to multi-year highs? They'll both do alright eventually, but the lady who buys on the cheap gets more value and a quicker start on her retirement fund, on average.

Here are some green energy and environmental funds, with their recent close (24OCT08) if available.
