CSCO for day trading? Are you kidding???
This is not year 2000!
It seems grass grows faster than CSCO going up 5 cents. Exactly how do you "day" trade it?
Even RIMM has fallen off the radar for many. It used to be good when it went to $300. Then they needed to 3-to-1 split. Everything went downhill in volatility.
Try NFLX. That thing choke up and down $1 in less than 5 minutes.
POT & BIDU can see some good moves during the day.

I daytrade 5 days a week. Most of the stocks you mentioned are on my banned list. Banned because they are garbage.
As was already said, I thought I went back in time (1998?) after reading the list.
Here is how I compute my weekly scan list:
a) Price > 20.00 (and if you prefer < 90.00)
b) Volume > 1,000,000
c) ATR > 1.00 (or the simple Range > 1.00)
d) NYSE, NASDAQ, & AMEX
For this week, I have around 200 symbols. After running my signal scans on the list, I will produce a focus list of 10 to 20 stocks for the next morning.
A,AAPL,ABFS,ABX,ACI,ADS,ADSK,ADTN,AEM,AG,AGCO,AGN,AGQ,ALB,ALV,ALXN,AMGN,AMP,AMZN,ANF,ANR,APA,APC,APH,APKT,ARUN,ATI,BBBY,BC,BEXP,BHI,BHP,BIDU,BIIB,BTU,BVN,BWA,CAM,CAT,CB,CBE,CBG,CCK,CDE,CE,CENX,CF,CLF,CMI,CNQ,COF,COH,COP,CREE,CRK,CRM,CTAS,CTRP,CTSH,CTXS,CVE,CVX,CYH,CYMI,CYOU,DANG,DBP,DD,DE,DHR,DO,DOV,DTO,DV,DVN,EDC,EMN,EQR,ERX,ESI,ESV,ETN,EW,FCX,FDX,FFIV,FST,FTI,FTO,GDX,GDXJ,GG,GLD,GOOG,GPOR,GR,GS,HAL,HAS,HES,HOT,IBM,IL,ILMN,INFA,IWO,JCI,KMB,LFT,LLL,LRCX,LTD,LXK,LYB,MAN,MAR,MCP,MDY,MEE,MMM,MON,MOS,MRO,NE,NEM,NFLX,NFX,NKE,NLSN,NOG,NOV,NTAP,NTES,OAS,OIH,OMC,OPEN,OVTI,OXY,PAAS,PANL,PAY,PCAR,PLCM,POT,PSLV,PX,QEP,QIHU,RAX,RES,RIG,RIO,RRC,RVBD,SCCO,SCO,SHW,SIL,SINA,SIVB,SIVR,SLB,SLH,SLV,SLW,SNDK,SODA,SOHU,SPG,SSRI,SU,TCK,TKR,TNA,TPX,TROW,TRW,TSCO,TWC,TWTC,TZOO,UAL,UCO,UNH,UNP,UPL,UPS,UTEK,UTIW,VAR,VECO,VFC,VHC,VMW,VNO,VRTX,VRUS,WFMI,WLL,WLT,WYNN,XLE,XME,YOKU,YUM
Note: Daytrading requires price movement, thus the ATR/Range criteria.

Quote from Rob227:
Why are the stocks you listed banned and what do you suggest trading?
Well like I said, they're garbage. Let me expand........
There are so many algos playing in there. The movement is more often than not, simply random. There's very little predictability in something that is so random.
I suggest trading things that actually move with the market or a certain sector. Stocks in play are good as well. In earnings season (read: right now) there's different stuff to play everyday.
Stuff that moves with lower volume is good too. Think YOKU, SINA, SOHU, lately AMRN, REE. Tomorrow look for NFLX, ESRX, VECO.
P.S. the above post has a terrific list.
The OP asked for a list of stocks that have tight spreads and high volume. He did not ask for volatile stocks, illiquid stocks, stocks that other members on this site trade or those symbols that are traded using a different technique or method. I provided him with a list of stocks that offer just that: tight spreads and high volume.
