Year of the Tiger for Net Lease Investments

David Sobelman: Those who thrive on chance and unpredictability are best suited to navigate 2010 upheaval.

By David Sobelman | Updated on March 17, 2010

Those who follow Chinese astrology know that this is the Year of the Tiger, the proverbial king of the jungle admired for its vivid stripes that symbolize the balanced forces of yin and yang. Therefore, 2010 is very likely to be a precarious year and the net lease industry will likely not be spared.

That’s really not that big of a secret since it is not difficult to change from where we were this time last year. However, Chinese philosophers predict that Tigers who thrive on chance and unpredictability are best suited to navigating the many upheavals predicted in the year ahead.

A few prolific examples of the type of person born in a Year of the Tiger are Marco Polo (1254), Karl Marx (1855) and Dwight Eisenhower (1890). While these three rose to great heights through some of the most tumultuous times in world history, whether the outcome was positive or negative, they are all under the category of those who can keep a steady hand on the helm—shaky at times, yet undeterred by the typically thunderous events foreseen in any Tiger year.
