Well, I just did a spreadsheet and I'll share some of what I found in case that helps. The problem is that I was essentially scouting out long-term prospects, something that might not fly well with your short term needs, but you could get an idea from the method.
In this case, I went to the S&P500 list and pulled out some that were of such criteria as above average return on investment, above average dividend, etc. I peeled out a set of some 65 companies and weighted by those and earnings growth (two common methods), which was essentially ordering by each criteria, punishing those with negative earnings by giving them a 65 (last place) rank. Then I summed the values and sorted the result of the sums. Kind of like golf, the low scoring companies were (symbols): HRB, ACAS, BA, LLTC, CBE, DD, SWK, LTD, UST, and C.
What you want to do, is pick a company that has a fairly steady public interest, ala Apple or Google. Pick several and see which, comparatively, are most likely to continue the climb (or fall, if you can short them and find a crash-and-burn company, like a mortgage company going bust).

This penny stock service has years of proven experience. Ultimately it is the best service for beginners to use https://tr.im/oxypW
You will have to wait between 3 and 10 days to get into the system in most cases. When I signed up it took 8 days. I wished it was faster, but if you can wait a week or two to start earn life changing money than you will have what it takes to make it in this business.

Consider General Electric (GE). This is the most owned company on earth, and the best run. Unfortunately the company with 11 divisions has been underperforming the broader markets for years now, and basically has only one way to go, especially with the weak dollar, and their earning more from overseas operations.

virtually none are doing extremely nicely or protecting good. There are in common terms 3 shares that are over 1000000000 in industry cap and that pay a dividend extra beneficial than 2% and have a pe ratio of under 15 that are above the place they have been a three hundred and sixty 5 days in the past. in common terms 3. FMER, u.s., and NST. curiously, 2 are monetary agencies. the different NST is a application. There you pass. solid luck.

Google and Bidu are on a tear so you can't go wrong with either of those.
