Taking TGMark's initial SI-Pro screen, using my typical 'crap' filters, doing a bit of (mostly irrelevant) simplification, stripping out the derived fields to enable direct SI-Pro screening & out-sourcing the VL1700 replacement to the S&P500...
https://gtr1.net/2013/?~ROE_50...

Offers 11.3% CAGR across the 50 stocks & 0.63 Sharpe, CAGR & Sharpe peaks at 4 stocks (13.9% & 0.70). It works well with an annual (252d) hold for the annually taxed & improves even further via the BCC. Higher level of turnover than Jim's initial screen but a lot lower than TGMark's variant (and reduces even further with an annual hold). The Yield step is set at 1/2 way between 500 & 50 with no effort to tune that parameter (so to some extent there could be some more performance if tuned further).

Another nice find! Perhaps the international version could also lean into the various key indexes in the proposed countries as a country specific S&P500/VL1700 proxy. I'll need to play with this further.
