2011 Chinese Numerology and Feng Shui ?

[Dynoman]

A friend sent me this & then I was thinking - Should I buy as many 2011 Pandas as I can possibly afford? Is it really related to Chinese superstition?

Chinese numerology and Feng Shui for 2011 This year we are going to
experience four unusual dates: 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11, and
that's not all; Take the last two digits of the year you were born and
the age you will be this year and the result will add up to 111 for
everyone!!!! This is the year of MONEY. Also, this year, October will
have 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays & 5 Saturdays. This happens only once every
823 years. These particular years are known as Moneybag years. The
proverb goes that if you send this to eight good friends, money will
appear in the next four days, as is explained in the Chinese feng shui.
Those who don't continue the chain, won't receive. It's a mystery, but
it's worth a try. Good luck to you. This only happens once in 800 years.

Wow, an 800 year old chain letter, good find!

I was only looking for number 888 on my proof silver dragon but I guess anyone with number 1111 is in for a big payday!

Feels like one of those spam 'chain letters', I'd ignore it and tell the person who sent it that they're retarded.

But then again I'm not a superstitious person.

Haha, I hear you, fishball, but as often is the case, it's not so much a question of what we believe, but a question of what the market believes. In this case numerologically inclined panda buyers. So imagine if you buy 11 2011 pandas on 11/11... Adding those numbers up, you get 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 8! Should mean something, no?

That's what I was getting at....I'm not what would be considered superstitious either, probably pragmatic. I'm just looking at the investment angle.
