90% of my savings were in equity, debt was never attractive! Last few months have taught me the imp of diversification!
Gold - through SGBs was my move on diversifying! Holder since Jan'20 - so far so good!
A🧵on talk given by @PositiveGamma on Investing in Gold!

MMTC PAMP is where Krishna worked before Setu and he was also responsible for launching Digi Gold at PayTM!
1) Why Gold?
1.1 Diversification - Volatility & Returns not tied to market conditions - diff. from financial assets.
(2/16)
1.2 Safe Haven - High value asset, easy to transport! Large value - limited space. Liquid and easy to convert to cash across the world.
1.3 Hedge against inflation and currency depreciation! (Depreciation of Rupee is a major factor behind Gold returns in India)
(3/16)
1.4 Upside in Tail Risk - Confidence in currencies & financial systems is low, gold can see upside in scenarios like this!
1.5 Upside on Demand/Supply - Constant Demand - Supply is stable!
2) Gold - Indian Context - Better returns compared to other asset classes...
(4/16)
... specially in the last 2-3 years. Gold has done well both in low inflation & high inflation returns. So both real (ex. inflation) & nominal returns have been good!
3) How much to Allocate?
3.1 Diversification/Inflation Hedge - 10-20%
3.2 Tail Risk/Safe Haven - 5-20%

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
