Screening Beverage and Alcohol Stocks by Turnover and Position Growth

Summary

This note outlines an equity screen for beverage and alcohol-related stocks. It combines a turnover-rate range of 3% to 12% with a condition that the reported increase in positions exceed 5%. The accompanying rationale treats position growth as a possible sign of optimistic market participation, while the turnover band narrows the activity profile. Example formulas and Python code are included to illustrate sector, turnover, and position-change filters.

The document supplies no historical test, return data, or evidence that position increases predict future gains. It warns that sizable position growth can coincide with unstable prices and recommends adding company fundamentals. Its examples also appear to mix stock-sector screening with futures-oriented fields and data, so implementation details and the exact meaning of “position growth” should be verified before use. This is best understood as a proposed filter requiring data validation and risk assessment, rather than a demonstrated strategy.

Key ideas

• The proposed screen targets beverage and alcohol-related stocks with turnover between 3% and 12%.
• It adds a condition for position growth above 5% as a possible indicator of market optimism.
• The note provides formula and Python examples but no backtest or performance evidence.
• Position growth can be associated with price uncertainty, and fundamentals are suggested as additional filters.
• The code examples use fields whose market and instrument fit should be checked before implementation.
