I was thinking along the same lines. Pharmaceuticals. Medical Devices. Biotech. All of these have been in kind of a slump lately too.

I'm also thinking that the alternative fuel thing is going to die down for a while. There's probably a winner in their somewhere (ethanol, hydrogen, fuel cell, etc.), but there's a lot of questionable technology too.

A few other ideas... Not necessarily endorsing them, just throwing out for discussion:
- Recreational space travel
- Handheld online gaming
- Education technology
- Gambling/lottery industry
- RFID applications
- Home energy-saving devices (just read in Business 2.0 about a new device that determines peak and off-peak electricity periods. During peak hours, a massive battery kicks in to power your home. It recharges the battery during off-peak hours.)
