I think you are looking for something like this.

SET @sql = NULL;
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT("'",COLUMN_NAME,"'")
 FROM
(SELECT `COLUMN_NAME`
FROM `INFORMATION_SCHEMA`.`COLUMNS`
WHERE `TABLE_SCHEMA` = 'yourdatabasename'
and `TABLE_NAME`='ffd_companies'
) AS colnames
GROUP BY 'COLUMN_NAME'
into @sql;

SET @sql = concat ("SELECT", @sql, " from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT *
FROM addstock25
INTO OUTFILE 'E:\\JOSE DATA\\addstock7.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '", '"',"'
)"
);

PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;

Note that I added the WHERE clause TABLE_SCHEMA = 'yourdatabasename'.
