Is this post true?
I have been around the block somewhat, and IMO, China is up there if you are an expat - definately the top ten. But it's not the best.
There are many pros about China; the tech here is unsurpassed, the Chinese have cornered this market. Its super safe, very cheap for expats, the people are friendly (depsite the anti-China bullsh$t) you read on X, the accomdation is good - western style and mostly affordable for what you can get. You can travel within China very cheaply, the trains are great. The food options are good and big cities are on par with cities like Bangkok & Singapore - lots of international food available. The work environment is good, you are treated respectfully, the salaries are generous. All in all it's great.
But one country offers more; and that's Thailand. It's hard to explain why Thailand is the destination to be in one post. You need to have been there, lived there to understand it's attraction. But for now Thailand is still the undisputeable king of Asia. But Vietnam is hot on its tail by many accounts due to just how cheap it is - we will see.
What do you think?

We had a deep-dive with legend Kenny Pasternak. Kenny was former CEO of Knight Capital Group - a leading market maker. We discuss distressed CRE, the banks & alts. I view (distressed) RE as an ideal diversifier for crypto: inflation hedge & wealth creation. Vids soon!

Liberals: “You only post Shenzhen and Shanghai. Why don’t you show the rest of China?”
Ok here’s Qingdao. What now?

$ASPI Does anyone even understand the narrative of this company anymore. 😭 Just sitting on my shares at this point but it’s just getting confusing at this point.

Sadly, I'm not a nuclear engineering expert so my opinion about both SMR and ASPI carries less weight. With that said:
1. I remain deeply skeptical of small modular and microreactors. Nuscale is basically a downscaled classic LWR design so there is less risk to first electrons on the grid but this doesn't say much about the likelihood it will become a commercially successful venture
2. I genuinely don't understand ASPI business plan any more. I prefer simpler stories. There are other folks who are much better informed about it than me

Fun fact: Lotus Resources $LOT $LOT.AX is down 70% in 90 days since I posted that warning at the end of Jan.
Piotr Turek@rekurencja
If you follow my comments about Lotus Resources $LOT.AX over the years, the answer to @PraiseKek's valid question is clear: transparency and Lotus don't go together. Never did. If you are holding this (and sadly many other uranium) stock you are holding a stick of dynamite. There is no way to know when it's going to explode again but it's a pretty safe bet that it will, eventually.

The Mayor of Seattle is 43 years old.
Never had a real job until just before being elected mayor.
Her mom and dad still pay for her childcare (her husband chooses not to work either).
And now she mocks the business community and those who want to keep what they earned.

INSANE. Seattle's Socialist Mayor responds to exodus of wealth from Washington state by saying "BYE" ... then laughing. We're doomed.

Two surgeons in China have captured worldwide attention after a powerful photo showed them lying exhausted on the operating room floor following a grueling 32-hour brain surgery.
The marathon operation took place at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital in Fuzhou. The team worked without breaks to remove multiple brain tumors and repair a cerebral aneurysm. The complex procedure began at 8:30 a.m. and lasted through the night until the early hours of the next day.
Due to the surgery’s extreme difficulty, the surgeons had to maintain intense focus while delicately navigating critical blood vessels to save the patient’s life. Once the operation was successfully completed and the patient stabilized, the two doctors collapsed from sheer exhaustion. The 2014 touching photo of them resting on the floor quickly went viral on Chinese social media, highlighting their extraordinary dedication.

She is the daughter of evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson. He was a close colleague of mine and a friend. However, once I expressed disdain for Obama and Pelosi, he publicly explained that I had lost my humanity, and he was hoping that I would find it again. We've not spoken since. I was a great guy and scholar until I expressed a political opinion that was "heretical." I then became a subhuman. This is coming from an individual who support the Party of Empathy.

Both Anthropic's Opus 4.6 and 4.7 are probably the dumbest LLMs I've interacted with recently?
Did they get hit in the head by a rock. Or just retrained off $IREN investor conversations?
Probably not going to use it again for awhile.
Felt like God-Mode when 4.6 first came out and just the stupidest LLM I've interacted with recently.

The exhibition showcases replicas of its factory, historical items such as vintage first-generation biscuit tins, and cute plushies. Photos: Kyle Lam/HKFP.

Many names like $NBIS - $CIFR - $IREN - $CRWV - $KEEL have seen very strong moves from their lows. And they're pulling back now.
This is totally normal, since they showed a change in trend. They all broke above their trending daily - weekly EMA's.
Right now they're testing the EMA's, probably this / next week, and turn them into support, especially the weekly ones.
After that they're gone. Give them time.
Eying for:
$CIFR - $35-$40
$IREN - $90-$105
$NBIS - $200
$CRWV - $200+
$KEEL - $8.80 - $10 (if it breaks through $4.80)
No need to rush here. 🔷🔷🔷
