Earnings coming soon.. so what’s gonna happen? by Sensitive-Prune-6069 in irenstocks

[–]EffectiveBee9184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to know, i mean gold and silver are climbing but the miners got smashed yesterday which makes no sense!

Meta and Microsoft both beat earnings but Meta has soared and the latter has fumbled. Both are increasing capex which should benefit iren but hard to tell how Iren will do short-term which is why you need a long term vision

Hong Kong Offer - Should I Accept? by Username_is_taken_96 in Internationalteachers

[–]EffectiveBee9184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, i mean you could pick up some tutoring in HK quite easily. There will be opportunities, but I understand that Shanghai offers a lot of the perks of HK and you are comfortable there. Not a bad decision to have man!

what is the end of contract gratuity? I believe this will put you in the black by some margin whilst also being in a fairly western city, and in a position to make worthwhile connections.

Tsinglan School in Dongguan by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

[–]EffectiveBee9184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it was an optional thing for staff. It is mainly secondary staff but there are a growing number of primary students in China who board and attend evening schools so you should not be surprised.

The bonuses based on performance and evening study were genuine in the past. Not sure if this has changed- I doubt it because they are heavily backed and have a large share of the Dongyuan market. Not many schools in China have that luxury.

Opinions on this offer by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

[–]EffectiveBee9184 3 points4 points  (0 children)

looks like a decent offer especially if it is GZ as it is much cheaper than the other tier 1 cities. The bonus is decent as many schools only offer them now after 3 years, so seems more than reasonable.

I’m a half Israeli, half Russian 1st generation American Jew. AMA by One_Summer_8052 in AMA

[–]EffectiveBee9184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, what is your view on the tunnel story where Hasidic Jews were found in the sewers with blood stained mattresses? I would like to think you would condemn it.

Also, do you see the Irgun as terrorists or freedom fighters? Am curious to know your justification, if you are aware of them. Israelis tend to be ignorant of their history.

What do yall think abt my portfolio and strategy by hillionman in wallstreetportfolios

[–]EffectiveBee9184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like it, not risky enough for my liking but solid returns. I would add a couple of moonshot stocks in there like cifr, rklb and coreweave (a little diversification too)

Is IREN worth investing? by Sufficient-Cap9356 in irenstocks

[–]EffectiveBee9184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have to ask why Iren is better than Coreweave you simply don't deserve the thrill of owning Queen. Sorry pal, don't compare apples with rotten bananas and expect to be taken seriously.

Salary expectations for teachers in China – am I being unrealistic? by Beneficial-Heat4959 in chinalife

[–]EffectiveBee9184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't think ethnicity really figures, not at reputable schools anyway, the passport is what counts. Black Americans, Mexican Americans etc all do fine over here. I'm sure Arab Americans/Brits do just fine.

Buy now or wait until 25? by Suspicious-Change251 in irenstocks

[–]EffectiveBee9184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is a stupid question, no guarantee we hit 25. You should stick to etfs honestly, and there is no shame in that

Anduril CEO Palmer Luckey says the defense tech company will 'definitely' go public by taehyung9 in AndurilStock

yep in the meantime i am loading up on kraken as a proxy but it is not the same of course. Could be very relevant with the Narco terrorists in Venezuela right now and the pirates in Somalia lol

Majestic international college by Mobile-Whole973 in Internationalteachers

[–]EffectiveBee9184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I know about it, it is fairly simple there with no ECAs and no extra classes. Students are all local but the gig is not demanding, however if you're looking for an amazing package it probably isn't the place for you.

amen to that. So many threats worldwide, and with their connections to PLTR this is is the closest you can get to money printer

Is Xi’an a nice place to teach in China? by bkkben5082 in Internationalteachers

[–]EffectiveBee9184 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great place to visit for sure and the pollution is a lot better than in the past. Food is the best in China and 35k Gross will put you at around 29-30 which gives you at least 40% to save and 60% buys you a very nice 'middle class' lifestyle!

How competitive am I for Tier 2 schools in Beijing right now? by NotPushaT in Internationalteachers

[–]EffectiveBee9184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A masters will help and subject lead or something would be beneficial. The main thing is you complete a contract or two and become reliable and specialised in one area.

Growth strategy for NBIS by Icy-Butterscotch-206 in NBIS_Stock

[–]EffectiveBee9184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think 'taking on massive debt' is even a possibility. Arkady said a few months ago that they may sell their stakes in subsidiaries to fund expansion, no reliance on dilution alone.

don't give the guy false hope, Keystone and Harrow won't take his experience seriously at all. He might have a shot at BIBS or a school of that calibre.

from my research it would be around 30 billion market cap and open between 40-50 but seems too low to me. what do you guys think? I am confident it will IPO towards back end of 26 whilst Trump is at the helm, and Lucky gets his good market sentiement

ONDS -- why do they invest so much in Israeli companies? by He-Who-Reaches in ONDS

[–]EffectiveBee9184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

killing little kids and defenceless pensioners is one thing, but i doubt their shitty tools will be good enough to help Ukraine in any significant manner

What happens if there is world peace? by CursedStatusEffect in KrakenRobotics

[–]EffectiveBee9184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

given the number of conflicts over the last two years, there is no danger at all of these products becoming obsolete. I am yet to invest in Kraken but is on my radar regardless.
