Show me a good buy

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $5,000,000,000

   • Purpose: Focus on larger, more established U.S. companies.
   • Rationale: A “good buy” is more likely to be a business with real operations, institutional ownership, and stable reporting. A $5B+ market cap cuts out tiny, easily manipulated names like ELAB-type microcaps and focuses on companies where moves are driven more by fundamentals and real demand than by hype.

2. Price Between $10 and $80

   • Purpose: Avoid penny stocks and ultra-expensive shares, and keep prices compatible with a ~$1,000 account.
   • Rationale:
     • Below $10: often more speculative, lower quality, bigger spreads.
     • Above $80: you’d only be able to buy a small number of shares with $1,000, which limits flexibility.
     • 10–80 balances quality with affordability and usually has tighter bid/ask spreads—important for someone trading actively and impatient to get in/out.

3. Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $2,000,000

   • Purpose: Ensure sufficient liquidity for easy entry and exit.
   • Rationale: A “good buy” for an active trader must trade enough dollars per day/month so your orders don’t move the price much and you can get filled quickly. This filter cuts out thinly traded names where you can get stuck in bad fills or wide spreads.

4. Moving Average Relationship: PriceAboveMA20 & PriceAboveMA200

   • Purpose: Only include stocks in clear short-term and long-term uptrends.
   • Rationale:
     • PriceAboveMA200: price is above its 200-day moving average → long-term uptrend and generally healthier technical structure.
     • PriceAboveMA20: price is also above its short-term (20-day) average → current momentum is positive, not just a slow grind.
       Together, this focuses on names already trending up instead of trying to catch falling knives.

5. 1-Month Price Change: +10% to +35%

   • Purpose: Target “strong but not crazy” momentum.
   • Rationale:
     • At least +10%: shows meaningful recent strength—buyers are in control, which is what most people mean by a “good buy” in a momentum-driven market.
     • Cap at +35%: avoids names that have gone parabolic and are at higher risk of a sharp mean-reversion (like ELAB’s spike). This range aims for strong trends that may still have room to run without being totally overheated.

6. Exchange: NYSE (XNYS) & NASDAQ (XNAS)

   • Purpose: Restrict results to major U.S. stock exchanges.
   • Rationale: The user asked for a good buy “in the US stock market.” NYSE and NASDAQ are the primary U.S. exchanges with higher listing standards, better liquidity, and more reliable data. This excludes OTC and foreign exchanges that might not fit what most investors mean by “US stock market.”

7. Analyst Consensus: Strong Buy or Moderate Buy

   • Purpose: Align with Wall Street’s positive view.
   • Rationale: A “good buy” should at least not be widely viewed as a sell or hold by professionals. Requiring Strong/Moderate Buy means:
     • Multiple analysts have done fundamental work and are net positive.
     • It filters out stocks that are technically strong but face serious fundamental or valuation concerns according to consensus.

8. Target Price Upside Potential: AbovePrice / MoreAbovePrice

   • Purpose: Ensure analysts still see additional upside from the current price.
   • Rationale:
     • “AbovePrice” and “MoreAbovePrice” mean the average/consensus target is higher than today’s price.
     • This avoids technically strong names that have already run past their target, and focuses on situations where both the chart and analyst targets point to further potential gains.

Why Results Match

• They are U.S.-listed (NYSE/NASDAQ), matching your request for the US stock market.
• They are liquid, mid‑to‑large cap names, which are more practical and less risky than tiny, hyper-volatile stocks like the one you previously asked about.
• They are in clear uptrends with recent gains, giving you momentum and the type of “good buy” most active traders look for, without being the most extreme, blow-off movers.
• They are supported by analyst Buy ratings and upside price targets, adding a fundamental and professional confirmation layer on top of the technical strength.
• The price range fits a sub-$1,000 account, allowing you to buy a reasonable number of shares and trade actively, which matches your impatient, day-trade-oriented style.
