I have saved up $1000. I want to purchase stock with that money, what would be a good one?

I have no experience in buying and selling stocks. Some useful information would include how would I go about buying one, if I should at all. I want a stock that has a small probability of "going under." Should I avoid certain stocks? Is there a better place to invest my money. I am not looking for a huge return, however in 5 or 10 years I would like to sell it, for a profit hopefully.
