Mystery Achiever

(Prior contest threads are now archived at the end of this post)
guderian won our 1st contest (2005) and always kept track of his past picks/performance. So this year we are playing for him.
The Rules
Pick one stock PRICED AT $1+ that you think can appreciate the most (EXCLUDING DIVIDENDS) in 2014.
SInce it is holiday/vacation time, I'll leave open through Tues, Jan 7.
But any pick made after the market opens on Jan. 2 will get the higher of 12/31 or day-of-pick close as baseline, so there is no benefit to timing,
Foreign stocks okay if traded on US exchange (i.e.ADRs)
ETFs okay IF NOT LEVERAGED
Shorts okay
No duplicates; FCFS
Please also consider sharing some thoughts/info on the stock
Optional Bonus Question- Guess where the S&P will finish the year. (I am not worrying about duplicates for this)
If you already made a stock pick, please add your guess to that post.
