2015 Investment Contest - FINAL Results Posted

Post your picks for the best investment ideas for 2015!
Post your picks for standard, trackable, fungible securities with published prices before the calendar changes to 2015, and let them run throughout the year. The goal is highest % increase in one calendar year. One entry per person. Post them here or send a PM. For those of you who pick something where a quote isn’t readily available on Yahoo! Finance, please post a link or website where it can be tracked. Examples from the 2013 or 2014 contests would include Greek 10 year bonds, bitcoins and ammo, as I am assuming at least one person will include that in their portfolio.
Same rules as last year. We'll start with a $9,000 portfolio (since it is evenly divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.).
To keep the list manageable, try to limit yourself to 3 or at most 4 picks (naturally, performance of both good and bad picks will be "diluted" by diversification from more than one pick).
We'll assume even division among the assets, if more than one is chosen, unless some other proportion is specified before the deadline.
You need to advise me when a split or dividend happens.
We'll track the picks periodically throughout the year. I will commit to at least one update per calendar month. I would like to do it more often, but can’t guarantee that.
At the end of the contest, I will donate a 1 oz silver bar, ASE, etc. to the person with the lowest portfolio balance.
Here's to a profitable year, Have fun!
*NO naked puts.
Notes to all: 3stars has replaced CMGO with FCEL. Renman95 has also pointed out I had him listed twice, with one of his choices of "TTT" being deleted as I misinterpreted it as his entry.

I am playing the trend of continuing growth in healthcare, banks/consumer finance improving with rising interest rates, an uptick in defense spending due to the recent elections, and I am sticking with what works in real estate, along with the dividends-which are being added to our YTD gains, no?

....or Wingsrule can enjoy the holiday and all the football action and post the results at his convenience.
Thanks again to Wingsrule for the work in this free and fun environment.
Happy New Year all.
… Now, if PCGS would do the World Series of Trading again…. that was a fun contest.
