Yet amid the chaos, it is important to stay ready to invest and seize opportunities as they arise. According to Koh, the year will be characterised by people “chasing” wealth. “There are short spurts of opportunities, there will be periods of profit-taking,” he says. “Be resource ready. That’s important. You can’t invest without resources.”
Market analysts rely on intricate models to parse the way ahead for markets, drawing on a range of metrics to create a quantifiable basis for their views and make better sense of what might be around the corner.
However, for fengshui master Ken Koh, the word “irrational” will define the Year of the Fire Horse. “There’s no good kind of reasoning logic to a lot of things, but things do happen,” explains Koh, who shares his thoughts at the Maybank Securities Market Outlook and Fengshui event. “But does it mean that it’s going to be chaotic? Well, I like to see it this way. It is organised chaos.”
