FOUR PiLLARS
OF THE YEAR
4 February
2015
E7 hour

Day stem Yin Metal H8 is weak and under pressure from dominant Wood elements; fortunately it
still has some Earth around to provide support. However, this round of Earth is hot and dry, thus we
can conclude that Metal industries will be weak but still in demand. Xin Metal also needs water to
glitter, and from the chart above, Water being next to Fire and Wood on each side is relatively
weak.

Wood element is the wealth for Metal.

The presence of abundant Wood element

represents potential opportunities in the Metal industries, while property development and real
estate will continue to face stiff competition. Property prices are expected to be driven further
down in the first quarter.
Banking and finance will fare better than last year; gold prices will stabilize and improve in the
third quarter.
Property will remain competitive although prices still fluctuates. Need to find good timing for
transactions according to individual needs.
Stock market will continue to taper but at a slower pace compared to 2014. Avoid risking your
finances this year.
Oil and gas prices will still have a downward trend.
Entertainment industry and hospitality will be more competitive.
Natural resources and mining are not the best trades to invest in this year.
Travel, transport, logistics, shipping will fare better and improve compared to last year
Education, fashion, textile, pharmaceutical and consulting industries are competitive; find your
niche and strengthen your marketing efforts if your business is in this line.
Summary of field: Overall in 2015 be prepared for slower growth in most major industries.
