Do all of your investments pan out for you? If you are like most people, probably not. In fact, if you are like most people, you might have experienced a loss in the market once or twice. I know I have! Maybe I didn't buy DELL in 1995 (ouch, what a regret) but I have bought a few different stocks over the years that have done well. Lets take a look at some different investment opportunities that might be popular today and tomorrow.

1)Energy and especially Alternative Energy. Do you use energy? Do you have a car? Do you live in any sort of dwelling? We are betting you do. And we are betting that you pay some form of gas or electricity bill every month. Well, that makes you some form of customer to several different entities around the planet (probably a whole bunch more than you think...you are an indirect coal and natural gas customer- where do you think the power plant gets it's juice from anyway?). Well energy companies can make for good investments if they are picked right and you do your homework about their potential earnings. Some of the biggest and brightest energy stocks these days aren't related to fossil fuels at all. They are solar companies that are ramping production up quicker than you can say 'renewable energy.' ESLR, SPWR and others are making big moves in solar and will probably continue to do so.

2)Health care. Who doesn't need health care on some level? Probably not many of you out there. This field is rapidly expanding and a lot of different companies are vying for a piece of the US health care budget. This category definitely includes pharmaceuticals, so if you if you are looking to invest in health care, there might be a good play or two left in here as long as you know what you are doing.

3)IT. Computers just keep going and going. While a lot of the big hardware companies aren't producing the huge gains that they were famous for, a lot of small software companies just keep going. However, to say this sector is risky would be an understatement. Things change constantly. People switch vendors and different IT talent change employers rapidly. While we haven't had the bad luck of picking badly, this is a sector that can rip a hole in your pocket book quicker than you can say 'upgrade'.

This is just the tip of the iceberg! We've assembled a whole bunch of different investment opportunity resources, articles, and even a blog for you you to check out before making your move.
