Windstream (WIN) is an S&P500 company, makes a profit, pays a dividend, and sells recently for $14.22 a share--and has a distinct upward trend to the stock price, which with a PE of about 15 is definitely not overbought.
CenterPoint Energy (CNP) is a similar profitable company on the S&P500 with a distinct upward stock price trend and recently selling for $16.38.
Caution with cheap stocks, though, they could be cheap for a reason.
Gateway (GTW), used to be a pretty good also-ran alongside the highly successful Dell, but has been losing money hand-over-fist for the last few years. If they pull it out of its dive you could win big. But with a price of only $2.20, it only has so far to fall if they fail. It has been on a gradual decline that has a little upward motion in recent weeks. This could simply be optimism on Christmas sales or the beginning of better times ahead. On a general trend its revenues have been higher and losses much lessened, but then so is its cash and equity. Long-term debt is just a little over equity and current liabilities much less than current assets and last I heard there was almost a half-billion in cash. There's a risk, but it is a good risk, if you catch my drift.
Sun Microsystems (SUNW) is a better bet. At a recent price of $5.57, it is affordable and except for the last week it had been on an upward trend for several months. It is more likely that it is coming out of its slump, but still a risk in a very competitive sector. (If I were to buy it, it would be because I thought someone would buy it out, but I don't know of such)

Futures trading, currency trading, etc.
That can make a lot of money for you without too much investment (a relative statement, of course). However, it is HIGH RISK. Unless you are very good at trading, you'll probably lose your money.
As for stocks, I'm not sure. Check out some penny stocks. Often these are riskier, too, but low cost.

U.S. Savings Bonds work. So do CD's.
