Year of the OX

Gong Xi Fa Chai to all who are looking forward to the Lunar New year tommorrow.

Today, the radio was full of quotes like, the last trading day of the rat year, last working day of the Rat year, traffic news ont he last working day of the lunar new year etc etc....

Rat year was almost like a Rat race. So many highlights. Bad news after another in the Financial markets. The good news was change of Presidency in US and a ray of hope for change.

Why is the world rejoicing so much about him being the President. Apart from the fact he is Afro-American, I think personally think its because we all want a change.

Somehow in the sub-conscious it is registered that the reason for the bad economy or the bad times is because of Bush. Is'nt it the same people who elected Bush twice.

Anyways, we all love change, whether it is a change in year, change in status, change in market, change in presidency. (We just celebrated the English New year and still as excited to celebrate another one)

Its the hope that keeps us all going. The hope that this year will be better than last one.

I too hope that the Year of OX will give me better business opportunities, better friends, better position, better revenues & better relationships and wish that all of you have a good year too.

I am now signing off the watch the last trading day of this Rat year, on NYSE. Swarna
