IPO also depends on your destiny....

After more than 10 years in the industry and clients from all types of industries, there's bound to be some stories or incidents worth sharing. I'm going to start the week with a case that relates to IPO.
About more than 6 years back, one of my client asked me whether the company he is working for will be able to go for public listing. I took a look at the partners involved and told him, either they make the move within these 2 years or the window will be lost forever.
About close to 2 years after he asked me, he told me he relayed my analysis to the group of consultants that were helping them for the listing exercise. The group told him, if such outcome can be determine by BaZi alone, then all of them don't have to spend many years in their specialized finance field.
And my client further told me they plan to list their company maybe a year or 2 later.


After another 2 years they totally drop the listing idea. A key director passed away, while others have since resigned.
The moral of the story is not about the accuracy of my analysis, but timing - The Macro Timing and also the relation to a person's destiny. History have taught us that many individuals with incredible skills and wits but somehow did not amount to much due to lack of chance. What is chance? Timing with the prepared skills. Do you know when to cash in? When to cash out? When to stay still and when to go all out?
