Hence $AAPL $BAC $AXP

Nice find on $BAC and $CVX, I wouldn't have thought of these stocks.

I think $BAC is the better bet.

Why not buy both $JPM and $BAC to hedge our bets? Both look promising to me.

True that silver had been performing better than gold of late, but I have 2 thoughts: I am somewhat concerned about the volatility of penny stocks that you mentioned above. If I was investing in silver I prefer iShares Silver Trust ($SLV), and secondly, with the expectation for more rate hikes in 2017, I foresee that safe haven investments like gold and silver will be worse performers when compared with banking and financial stocks like #Citigroup, #BankOfAmerica, or #Goldman Sachs. As always, best advice is to diversify. $C $BAC $GS

Sorry all, thanks for the clarification. My bad! Now that I've read it through, it all makes total sense. $GILD, $BAC, $WFM, and $VA are my plays for 2015.
