Perverse Investment Candidates(PIC) list began January 1st of 2001.
How would you like to choose investments that had "annual growth rate of sales, cash flow, earnings, dividends and book value that together have averaged 13% or more over the last 10 years and be expected to average at least 13% in the coming 3-5 years."?
This list is derived from Value Line's "Highest Growth Stocks" list (page 39). It's my feeling that these stocks would make great possibilities for investing using simple timing strategy of buying when they're Timeliness #5 and selling when they get to Timeliness #1. Many of these stocks also have exhibited other traits that would make them good AIM Management candidates. Here's how AIM has managed these stocks since they came to the list:
