What socks to buy today with 5% return

Screening Filters

1. region = United States

   • Purpose: Limit the search universe to U.S.-based stocks.
   • Rationale:
     • Your question explicitly asks for “US stocks”, so this filter ensures we only look at companies listed in the U.S. market.
     • It excludes foreign listings/ADRs and keeps the focus on the U.S. regulatory and economic environment you’re targeting.

2. list_exchange = XNYS, XNAS, XASE (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American)

   • Purpose: Restrict results to major U.S. exchanges.
   • Rationale:
     • These are the main U.S. stock exchanges where the vast majority of larger, more liquid, and more widely followed companies trade.
     • This aligns with a typical investor asking “what US stocks to buy” — usually implying primary U.S. listings, not OTC/pink sheets or very illiquid venues.
     • Improves practicality: better liquidity, narrower bid–ask spreads, and more reliable pricing data.

3. one_week_predict_return ≥ 5%

   • Purpose: Find stocks that a quantitative model estimates could return at least 5% over the next week.
   • Rationale:
     • You requested stocks “with an expected 5% return.” We don’t have a generic “expected return” field, but we do have a model-based one-week predicted return.
     • Setting a minimum of 5% on this one-week forecast approximates your goal: it surfaces names where our model suggests at least a 5% upside over that specific short-term horizon.
     • It transforms your qualitative target (“5% return”) into a concrete, screenable criterion.

Why Results Match Your Request

• You asked for U.S. stocks → We use region = United States and restrict to NYSE, NASDAQ, and NYSE American listings, which are the primary U.S. exchanges.
• You want an “expected 5% return” → We don’t support arbitrary “expected return” fields, but we do support a one-week predicted return. By applying one_week_predict_return ≥ 5, we are:
  • Using the closest available metric to your request (a model-based expectation), and
  • Targeting at least the 5% threshold you specified, over a one-week horizon.

Do keep in mind this “predicted return” is a model estimate, not a guarantee, but in terms of screening logic, these filters are the most direct way to match what you asked for.
