The Dragon is often regarded as the "King" of all the Chinese Zodiac animals.
ReplyDeleteDo you believe Feng Shui? Well, a lot of people do. A Feng Shui index launched by Credit Lyonnais Securities Asia Ltd (CLSA) predicts a hard year ahead with further downside risks in line with warnings from economists.
ReplyDeleteThe Chinese Lunar New Year, which begins on January 23, is called a "Black Water Dragon Year", according to the traditional Chinese philosophy. The last of these was 1952, the year Queen Elizabeth II succeeded to the throne of the United Kingdom.
The CLSA report - with a dark blue dragon with colorful swimming trunks and snorkel emblazoned on its front page - offers a tongue-in-cheek look at the prospects for the stock markets and industrial sectors.
The report predicts that the Hong Kong stock market could see a slow start to the year, "with the Dragon sinking like a sun-cracked crocodile back into its lagoon". It also expects to see a sluggish performance throughout the first half of the year "with west highlighted as the best direction for money".
The report said the tipping point should come in August, as the Dragon turns swiftly and heads north at a rapid pace. September should be one of the best months of the year, having intense market activity. The sustained upward trend should continue into October and November and then the market will shuffle sideways through to the end of January, it said.
Wahhh ... believe or not?
Where go real creatures like Dragons?
