What are the best stocks to invest in right now (for a beginner)?

I’ve been studying up on the stock market for a while now and I think I’m ready to do some minor investing. What are some good stocks to invest in at this time? I am afraid to invest in Google and Apple, because they seem like huge risks. Also, price is not an issue.

I currently have shares in Panera Bread (PNRA) and Caterpillar (CAT).
