Scott,

I too am trying to get some diversification. My picks however are metals, timber, and water. Think these are safer in the long run.

My picks for timber are Plum Creek (PCL) and Rayonier (RYN) both Real Estate trusts that give you income.

For water: Power Shares basket of water stocks (PHO).

Metals: Vanguard Precious Metals (which also owns industrial metals)

PS. The fuel Cells can be very volatile and bunch of them are dependent on government grants to stay afloat. FCEL about 5 years ago topped 100 when it was first thought to be the answer to our prayers regarding energy. I don't think these stocks are as of yet on financial sound footing--although as speculative plays they may make some sense.
