The hottest investment theme today is not cryptocurrency trading, but the "Metaverse".
I am not a big fan of buying crypto as an investment but I said the investment opportunities will emerge from the ecosystem surrounding cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. And I believe Metaverse is one of them.
I think Metaverse is moving our digital life to a new level by integrating many latest technologies. The metaverse will be right at the new frontier of human digital evolution, because it puts together all the latest innovations such as blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), etc.
What is the Metaverse?
The metaverse is a combination of two words: “meta” and “verse”. Meta means “beyond”, Verse means universe.
The word “Metaverse” was first coined by author Neal Stephenson in his 1992 science fiction novel "Snow Crash". In the book, the Metaverse is a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space.
If it is hard to imagine, take a look at the trailer of the 2018 movie“Ready Player One”, then you will have some ideas.
In today's context, the Metaverse is a digital reality that combines aspects of social media, online gaming, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and cryptocurrencies to allow users to interact virtually. It is a “universe” where people interact with each other not in real person, but virtually.
Today, I think to many people, the metaverse may still sound like science fiction, but human advancement always starts with dreams. The 1980s “Back to the Future" series was one of my favourite movies, and most of the things that appeared in the movie have become reality today.

A short squeeze can occur when a heavily shorted stock rises in value instead of falling. Short sellers could be looking to close out their position and can face a loss if they have to buy back the shares they initially borrowed at a higher price.
Here is a look at Fintel's top five short squeeze candidates for the week of Dec. 13.
Men's health pharmaceutical company  $Petros Pharmaceuticals (PTPI.US)$ tops the Fintel leaderboard for the week. The stock has 25.4% of its float short with short interest up 459% in recent weeks, according to Fintel. Short interest is up 2,470% in the last month on shares of PTPI. Fintel shows a cost to borrow of 254%, which is one of the highest on record.
Life sciences company $iSpecimen (ISPC.US)$ comes in second place on the Fintel leaderboard for the week. The company has 19.7% of its public float shorted. Short interest is up over 4,400% in ISPC shares from the prior report. Fintel points out that institutional ownership is down in ISPC shares in the recent quarter. Insiders have been buying shares consistently over the last few weeks. The cost to borrow on ISPC shares is 175%, which Fintel said would normally top the list if not for the high number assigned to PTPI shares.
Biotechnology company  $Longeveron (LGVN.US)$ ranks third on this week's list. Fintel shows 30.5% of the company's public float short. Short interest of 1.2 million shares is up 477% in the last month, according to the report. LGVN has a high cost to borrow of 152%.
Biopharmaceutical company  $Vallon Pharmaceuticals (VLON.US)$ has 22.8% of its float short. Short interest has risen 855% from previous reports, according to Fintel. The cost to borrow on VLON shares is 62.1%. Fintel highlighted that institutional shares have declined over 30% in the most recent quarter.
Material handling industry company  $Greenland Technologies (GTEC.US)$ joins the short squeeze leaderboard in fifth place. Short interest in GTEC is up over 1,500% from the previous report. The cost to borrow on GTEC shares is 41%.
Mooers, let's look for the next  $GameStop (GME.US)$ or  $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$.
