What stock do you recommend for a quick hit on a small investment, such as $5000?

Your question makes me want to barf. Don't look for a quick hit. You'll eventually lose it all.

Open a Roth IRA and put $3,000 in a mutual fund. Put more money in each month thereafter.

What do you mean by a quick hit?

If my life depended on one big bet I would buy the Google September 250 put (GOUUJ.X) and hope the stock sells off to the point where it trades in line with YHOO. Current price on the put is $4.60 so you could get 10 contracts. If Google falls to $125 you would make about $120,000.00.

Im not recommending that you do this. If I needed money fast I would borrow it before I put all of my money of the line like this.
