I'm not sure what you mean by high rate, so I'm going to presume good growth.
And unfortunately, I don't know your timeframe, so I'm going to guess shorter term (through year end) for now.
So, for this timeframe, I like:
Healthcare
BAX, HUM
Broker dealer
MS, GS
Retail
AEOS, ANF, JWN, KSS
I also like AAPL.
Stay out of oil, energy, metals for now
That should get you started.
Hope that helps!

High quality stocks are selling at very reasonable prices right now. I am not certain why this is, but it is. These are stocks that have consistant growth, increase their dividends annually, and have rock solid balance sheets. In the past they have normally sold at a considerable premium to the average stock. Today they sell at near to the same valuation, if not a discount.
MMM
JNJ
MSFT people are skeptical that this very large company can keep growing
INTC people are concerned that this company will keep be able to maintain their market position
C
BAC
GE
CHL the largest cell phone company in the world today and a proxy for China
SAY a reasonably priced software development company in India
COP does anyone really think that an oil company is a bad investment?
There is a hand full for you.

I like penny stocks. They are high risk, but because they are low priced, even the average investor can afford to buy them in the hundreds or thousands of shares at a time. Look for stocks that show a goal of more than 5 times the current rate and plan to sell when it doubles or triples. The trick is to sell when you reach your goal and don't hope that it goes higher and stay with it. Get to your goal and sell - move on and buy into another.
When you buy high-priced blue chip stocks with high dividend yields, you can only afford a few compared to the penny stocks. At that rate, you'll have to hang onto it for YEARS to see a profit - if ever.
Stay away from any stock that ends in .pk (dot pk) as these are dead stocks. That's where you will just be throwing your money away. Look for stocks that end in .ob (dot OB) or otc.ob. Read the news events on these stocks and pay attention.
Also, companies that are new to the NYSE are usually a fair bet.
I invested in PetMed Express (PETS) when it was first advertising on television - at $2/share. It's $10/share right now. I invested in West Pharmaceutical Services Inc. (WST) when it was $8/share just 3 years ago and it's currently $42/share. I invested in a new company that manufactures armored tanks for our troops - Force Protection, Inc (FRPT) when it was selling for $3/share this past July and it's currently $9/share. With just 100 shares, I tripled my investment in about three months.

Since this is for a study, I will not go into my usual rant about getting advice in a place like this.
In order to get high returns, you need to take high risks. Look for the highest volatility stocks you can find.
