Feng shui masters see calmer markets in Year of the Ox

As reported by Reuters in an interview with Feng Shui master Raymond Lo:

The Year of the Ox, which starts on January 26, will be the most peaceful year globally since 2000, he says, but stock investors don’t need to rush into the market yet.

Also:

The global outlook will be helped by the fact that incoming U.S. President Barack Obama was born in a “yin earth” year, like President Abraham Lincoln. French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Taiwan’s President Ma Ying-jeou are also “yin earth” people.

The last “yin earth” year of the Ox, in 1949, saw the birth of NATO and the People’s Republic of China.

And finally:

While financial markets should be calmer, Koh foresees the spread of disease and a spate of natural disasters, particularly in the northern hemisphere, with landslides, floods and earthquakes in store.

We, as advocates of free markets (not to mention free will), respectfully disagree with these predictions but we wish Feng shui investors all the best in the year of the Ox, which starts today.
