Try Exxon-Mobil, symbol XOM. It seems to rise about 20% a year (which is what you're asking), plus it pays a dividend. You don't even need a stock brokerage account, they have direct investment where you can buy the stock through them and not pay any fees when you buy. I think it's a minimal fee when you sell, too.
