Best Investments with Little Money to Start?

With a volatile and nervous stock market, as of January 26th,
2008 ; where can I find excellent returns over the long term ?
I have done some research into the alternative energy fields and I am very interested in investing into solar, wind power, nuclear, thermal energy fields. What companies are the in the alternative energy fields that would be a good investment in small caps, emerging alternative energy companies with strong earning potential on your investments ? I have only about $ 1500.00 to start with. Should I look at penny stocks in the alternative energy fields ? I am close to retirement with about 3 more years to retirement at 65 and would be very interested in earning a steady retirement income that I can build in the next few years from investments in the alternative
energy fields. Some investment experts say that the alternative energy markets will explode to 10 times larger than the Internet in the comming years with great investment returns IF you get in now.

By the way...I do not want to fully retire at age 65. I will most likely work part time as I want to keep busy. I am not poor. I am not rich. I will have plenty of money to retire with as I plan to retire in Mexico.
When I say I have $ 1500.00 to invest , that is only what I want to to invest into the alternative energy field at this time.
Please recommend specific compaines that I can research. Please provide web sites and good information not " good luck " to the old guy notes.

I can very confidently tell you this is one of the best, if not the best investment plan over the long-term.

best investment with little $$ to start?

library card - seriously.

penny stocks are best for losing ur money historically.

take u 1500$ and pay off bills u'll get up to 38% return on ur investment.

realise u will not 'retire' at 65 , u''l keep working.

any investment that suggest a fast return has a high loser risk involved.

take 1500$ invest in upgrading ur working education so u can earn more$
safe and fast return.

sorry

When the situation is volatiloe, as is now, please dont take risk. Wait for some time. Good luck..

power sector including alternative energy are capital intensive and do not give reasonable return on long run.
at this age with little money left out is not advisable for investment in stock market.
[save otherwise - today's market is under influence of recession - many stocks are available very cheap - if you have best adviser - you can invest for 3 to 5 years by that time market will revive and there may be appreciable return]

you have research of having a small office home office - start working from home after 65 which will give you consistent return

best of luck.

penny stocks are a great way to lose your cash. since we are in a bear market you will be able to buy all of the alt. energy stocks lower when we bottom. for the moment you would do well to invest in something that does well in a bear market such as gold. as a very sucessful investor in the solar field I would caution you on buying anything right now. Until the solar stocks come down to a decent level the only way to play them is buying for the mini market upswings and with such a small amount of cash on hand I would not recomend this.

If you have less than 20 years worth of savings I would count on working well past 65. Also starting investing with $1,500 is VERY hard. Until you have 10K that you can afford to put into the market your money would do more good in a CD.

if you do invest remember that the "experts" that are trying to get you to invest now are probably the same ones that want their stocks to go up so they can uload them without taking a loss. there will be a boom but DONT get in now.
