You might try this criteria.
EPS Growth past 5 years > 25%
EPS Growth projected next 5 years > 25%
Beta > 1.25
Market Cap > 1 billion
That should give you a list of reasonably large growing companies (which have been around for a while) which tend to bounce around quite a bit.
This is the result as of today.
VRTS VERITAS Software Corporation
CSCO Cisco Systems, Inc.
TLAB Tellabs, Inc.
EMC EMC Corporation
RII Republic Industries, Inc.
JBL Jabil Circuit, Inc.
MCRL Micrel, Incorporated
MXIM Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.
QTRN Quintiles Transnational Corp.
SPLS Staples, Inc.
SBUX Starbucks Corporation
EFII Electronics for Imaging, Inc.
CEFT Concord EFS, Inc.
ESRX Express Scripts, Inc.
CMVT Comverse Technology, Inc.
SLR Solectron Corporation
QCOM QUALCOMM Incorporated
BBBY Bed Bath & Beyond Inc.
AES AES Corporation
If you want to shoot for newer stocks on the scene you might try this criteria.
EPS Growth projected next 5 years > 30%
Beta > 1.25
Market Cap > 150,000,000
Market Cap < 1,000,000,000
This is going to give you a ton of possible stocks. Some are good, some are garbage. As with any list, this is just a starting point.
Just a suggestion. I like to think technology stocks are well suited for AIM, but stocks which radically move in percentage terms are suitable as long as you have some confidence that they will not go out of existence.
