If we knew the answer to that question, we would all be sitting on the beach in Tahiti drinking Pina Coladas
I know I'll be watching the answers to this question though.

Look up symbol - PPD, they are growing. Not only that they created over 60 plus millionaires in the past 5 years and still under the radar. They might be listed under the S&P 500.
Also, look up "Penny Stocks" - good way to learn the market

If you don't know how to value stocks on your own, you would be much better served to stick to mutual funds. You'll still get exposure to stocks, but you won't have the risk of the stock you picked tanking and wiping you out. The worst performing stocks I've ever had were ones that other people recommended I buy.
Check out Vanguard for good, low-cost, no-load funds.
Good luck!

If you don't know, then you shouldn't be in the market - many "hot stock tips" are to drive the price up so that the person giving the tip can sell off, leave you holding the bag.
I happen to like GM, MRK, THE, MO, CAT, but just because they're good for me doesnt' mean they're good for you. I happen to like dividend paying stock.

PPD...avoid it...the company has had many run-ins with the SEC, only has a market cap of $600MM
