A dragon-designspring festival couplets are seen on a banner for the upcoming temple fair of the Chinese Lunar New Year at Longtan Park in Beijing, January 18, 2012. In the year of the Black Water Dragon, investors could get torched again if they leap back into the market too soon. But the outlook is expected to brighten considerably later in the year. In a world of economic turmoil that's scorched investors, it's tough to make predictions, but that's the forecast for Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index if one follows the principles of feng shui - the ancient Chinese art, or science, based on 'Qi', the natural flow of energy - according to brokerage CLSA. The Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival, begins on January 23 and marks the start of the Year of the Dragon. The Longtan Temple Fair will take place from January 22 to 29. The Chinese characters of the spring festival couplets reads, "Dragon Year Longtan, Accompanied by Happiness". Picture taken January 18, 2012. REUTERS/Soo Hoo Zheyang (CHINA - Tags: SOCIETY)
