WELCOME TO THE YEAR of the Metal Tiger, a year in which an animal representing bravery and power comes up against an element associated with wealth and protection. What does that signify? What sort of year will it be for investors?
Put aside the charting tools and financial ratios. It’s that time of the year when a different sort of forecasting tool takes centrestage: feng shui. Yes, it’s that time of year when feng shui guides outnumber books on Warren Buffet, with titles like Riding the Golden Tiger by Lillian Too, the world’s most popular writer on feng shui (according to her website).

IN TRUE APPLE fashion, its latest gadget — the iPad — was launched amid great hoopla on Jan 27 in San Francisco. Half a world away, in Taiwan, the buzz was also palpable, but it wasn’t confined to tech geeks. On the stock market the following day, investors chased up the shares of companies widely expected to benefit from the iPad.
Hon Hai Precision Industry Co, the world’s largest electronics contract manufacturer, rose 2.3%. Innolux Display Corp, which makes liquid crystal display (LCD) panels, jumped 6.3%. And Wintek Corp, which manufactures touchscreens, gained 1.1%.

I LOVE GOOGLE. I use it almost every day. I read the news, I look up stuff. For millions of Internet users in China, however, Google isn’t the go-to search engine. For most of them, it’s local portal Baidu. And guess what they look for? MP3 downloads.
Yes, music is what drives China’s search engine business. And that’s largely because its Internet users are young. According to government data, 61.5% of web users are below the age of 29. They also don’t have bucket loads of disposable income: About 42.5% of users have a monthly income of RMB1,000 ($206) or less.

BUY TAIWAN SHARES or take your money back within a week. That’s what Taiwan’s central bank told foreign speculators last week. It’s alarmed by the resurgence of short-term capital, often branded as “hot money”.
Here’s an illustration of the liquidity buildup. Foreigners have brought NT$49 billion ($2.15 billion) into Taiwan and channelled just over a third of that into the stock market, in the two trading sessions prior to last Monday. That suggests that some NT$31.2 billion remains idle in the banking system.
