Best of 2007: Top 5 green investments



Lots of companies out there are jumping on the green bandwagon. Originally I planned to focus on alternative energy companies for this best of list, but pure play green companies available on U.S. stock markets are not even earning profits yet, so they're risky bets and I just couldn't put together a best of list.

The only pure play alternative energy company that is on this list is Pacific Ethanol (Nasdaq: PEIX) and even that wasn't a winner in 2007. While it too didn't make a profit, analysts do think it's strategy for the future is solid and have high hopes for the company.

The other four companies I chose are U.S. EPA Green Power Partners because of their environmental efforts, but 2007 was a rough year and profits were slim. All but one of these stocks would be a loss if you bought them at the beginning of 2007 - Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX), Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) and Whole Foods Markets (Nasdaq: WFMI). The U.S. stock market is down across the board. I picked these companies because their growth potential in 2008 is strong and they are green power leaders.
