Metaverse Stock Screen Using Positive Returns and Concentration Limits

Summary

This post describes a stock screen for companies classified in the metaverse theme, with a positive return condition and a limit on each stock’s share of aggregate market capitalization. It explains the concentration filter as an attempt to avoid excessive dependence on a dominant company within the theme. Example formulas and Python code sketch a possible implementation, but there are inconsistencies between the stated threshold and formula, and no backtest or return evidence is presented.

The author notes that the screen omits company financial condition and broader fundamentals, while a concentration ratio alone cannot capture business quality or industry position. Proposed additions include financial and valuation measures and market trends, with machine learning mentioned as one possible research approach. These are suggestions rather than tested improvements; the document does not establish that the screen is profitable or robust.

Key ideas

• The screen selects metaverse-themed stocks with positive returns and a market-cap concentration condition.
• A concentration cap is intended to reduce dependence on a dominant stock within the theme.
• The example formula and explanation differ on the concentration threshold, leaving implementation unclear.
• The post provides no performance evidence and recommends further fundamental and market analysis.
