I've done small stocks in the past, mainly things that were considered "safe" and where I could cash out with a small return.

Knowing this, I'd use a couple thousand to take advantage of the low oil prices (USO, OIL, DBO). It might be a while, but you'll make a good profit.

Max out your Roth with the rest if you have room to max it out.
Start a fully funded Roth if you don't have one.
