During Chinese New Year, many chinese like to buy auspicious food, decorations and any things that could bring good luck to the home. The above are some figurines of the beloved God of Fortune and pineapple decorations. Pineapple is 'Ong Lai' in Hokkien, meaning fortune coming.
Maybe the ox can help bring luck to the stock exchange.
