4. Screeners

@Finviz is great for screening by sector/industry

@Stockcard is great for screening by themes (like the mega-trends listed below)
5: Your Family & Friends

Look through your credit card statements

Observe the brands your friends buy

Notice any patterns? Find out if the company is public
6: Podcasts

These podcasts are great at uncovering hidden gems

9: Paid services

I paid for:
@TMFStockAdvisor
@TMFRuleBreakers

For YEARS before I worked for them

If you get 1 good idea from a paid service, the subscription more than pays for itself
Finding stocks ideas is one thing

Figuring out if they are worth buying is another

This is where checklists are helpful

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.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


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.
