Screening Filters
Market Cap ≥ $2,000,000,000
- Purpose: Focus on larger, more established gold-related companies.
- Rationale:
- When someone asks for a “gold pick,” they often want liquid, better-known names rather than speculative micro-caps.
- A $2B+ market cap tilts the list toward companies with more stable operations, better access to capital, and generally better disclosure and coverage, which can be important in a cyclical sector like gold.
Price Above 200-Day Moving Average (PriceAboveMA200)
- Purpose: Identify stocks in a longer-term uptrend or at least not in a prolonged downtrend.
- Rationale:
- The 200-day moving average is a common technical indicator for the primary trend.
- Requiring price above the 200-day MA filters for gold stocks that the market is already rewarding, rather than those still under heavy selling pressure.
- For a “pick,” this aligns you with names showing relative strength in the gold space.
1-Month Price Change ≥ 0% (month_price_change_pct ≥ 0)
- Purpose: Ensure recent price action is at least stable to positive.
- Rationale:
- Even in an uptrend, some names can be correcting sharply. This filter screens out those that have been weak over the last month.
- For a potential buy candidate, you generally don’t want something that has been falling consistently in the very short term unless you are explicitly seeking deep value or reversals.
Theme: Gold Mining and Precious Metals
- Purpose: Restrict the universe strictly to gold- and precious metal–related companies.
- Rationale:
- Directly aligns with your “gold pick” request.
- Ensures the results are in gold mining, royalty/streaming, or related precious-metals businesses, rather than unrelated sectors.
Why Results Match Your “Gold Pick” Request
- The theme filter ensures you’re only seeing gold and precious metals plays, which is the core of your request.
- The market cap filter steers you toward more established, typically lower-risk (within the gold sector) names instead of tiny speculative explorers.
- The trend (PriceAboveMA200) and recent performance (month_price_change_pct ≥ 0) filters bias the list toward gold stocks that are already behaving constructively in the market, which is often desirable when looking for a “pick” rather than a turnaround gamble.
