Screening Filters
Theme: Gold Mining and Precious Metals
- Purpose: Restrict results to companies whose primary business is in gold or closely related precious metals.
- Rationale: Your request is “stocks related to gold.” The most direct way to achieve this is to filter for stocks classified in the Gold Mining and Precious Metals theme—this captures gold miners, producers, royalty/streaming companies, and some related precious-metal names whose fundamentals are tied to gold prices.
Market Cap ≥ $1,000,000,000 (Large enough companies)
- Purpose: Focus on mid- to large-cap companies.
- Rationale: A minimum market cap of $1B filters out very small or highly speculative gold explorers. This tilts the list toward more established gold companies (often producers rather than purely exploratory juniors), which tend to have better liquidity, more analyst coverage, and somewhat lower business risk.
Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $500,000
- Purpose: Ensure the stocks are reasonably liquid and actually tradable.
- Rationale: Dollar volume combines price and share volume to measure how much money trades in the stock per day/month. A $500k+ threshold helps exclude illiquid gold names where it might be hard to get in or out without moving the price, making the results more practical for most investors.
Price ≥ $3 per share
- Purpose: Avoid very low-priced “penny” stocks.
- Rationale: Gold-related stocks under $3 often include distressed or highly speculative companies and shells. Setting a floor at $3 filters many of these out, leaving generally more established, higher-quality gold names.
Moving Average Relationship: PriceAboveMA200
- Purpose: Include only gold-related stocks currently trading above their 200-day moving average.
- Rationale: The 200-day moving average is a long-term trend indicator. Requiring price to be above it biases results toward gold stocks in a longer-term uptrend or at least not in a prolonged downtrend. For someone simply asking for “stocks related to gold,” this adds a quality/trend overlay so the list is not dominated by names in deep technical declines.
Exchange List: XNYS, XNAS, XASE (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American)
- Purpose: Limit to major U.S. exchanges.
- Rationale: Many gold companies are listed globally (e.g., Canada, Australia, London). Focusing on NYSE/NASDAQ/NYSE American gives you U.S.-listed gold stocks, which generally have higher reporting standards, better liquidity for U.S. investors, and are easier to trade through most brokers.
Why Results Match Your Request
- The theme filter directly targets companies whose business is tied to gold and precious metals, which is exactly what “stocks related to gold” means in practice.
- The market cap, volume, and price filters refine that group to more established, liquid, and less speculative names, making the list more investable rather than just exhaustive.
- The PriceAboveMA200 condition further narrows it to gold-related stocks that are performing relatively better from a technical standpoint.
- The U.S. exchange filter ensures you get gold-related stocks that are straightforward to access and trade on major U.S. markets.
