You aren't going to build up much of a portfolio with 5k. I'd want at least 25-30k to build a stock portfolio I would feel comfortable with, probably closer to 50k. I agree with stoutboy, go with an index fund/etf.
Very solid earnings and growth. They just did a 10 for 1 split, so it went from an $800+ stock to now an $80+ stock. This thing will work its way back up because investors have short memories.

I agree with this for the most part, and will second this suggestion. With that said, to answer your original question, if it were me, I'd split it evenly between BAC, F, NSC and SWK and hold on all year, probably longer if it were me, actually. Those are my 4 top picks for the 2014, although BMS's MA recommendation is a good one as well.
If you don't need this 5K for next ten years. Go with either MA, BAC, or MS. If you really want to play (meaning you will be OK even if you lose the 5K), then go with TWTR, TSLA or DDD.
