COST stock analysis (iching analysis) - from IchingCanada

The stock is COST (Costco).
The reading is casted on October 4 2017 at 23:10 hr (Chinese Calendar: Oct 5 Eastern time)
The time domain is
Ding fire You metal year: hollow - chen earth, si fire
Si earth You metal month: hollow - yin wood, mao wood
Yi wood Chou earth day: hollow - xu earth, hai water
Bing fire Zi water hour: hollow - shen metal, you metal.

The hexagram is Hex 11.1.2 to Hex 15.
11.6 -VE Child you metal (guest line); 15.6 -VE child you metal
11.5 -VE Wealth hai water; 15.5 -VE Wealth hai water (host); Hai = movement star, luck star.
11.4 -VE Brother chou earth; 15.3 -VE Brother chou earth
11.3 +VE Brother chen earth (host); 15.3 +VE child chen metal
11.2 [hidden- parent si fire]; +VE officer yin wood; change to 15.2 -VE parent wu fire (fling)
11.1 +VE wealth zi water change to 15.1 -VE brother chen earth

Hex 11: Upper trigram - kun earth; Lower trigram - chien metal
Hex 15: Upper trigram - kun earth; Lower trigram - ken earth

Background
COST has moved up significantly from Aug 24 2017 at $151.33 to Oct 4 2017 at $165.21 over a period of 41 days. It has an one year rating of $181-$182.

Purpose of the reading
Will there be a stock price adjustment?

There are two change lines in this hexagram line 11.2 and 11.1.
11.2 [hidden- parent si fire]; +VE officer yin wood; change to 15.2 -VE parent wu fire (fling)
11.1 +VE wealth zi water change to 15.1 -VE brother chen earth

Both wealth line and officer line are change lines
Long Yi's teaching
[205] Wealth and officer are change lines. There will be financial losses. In seeking wealth, both officer and wealth line should be unchanged. When the officer line moves, the money will be drained from the wealth line. If the wealth line is strong and on the move, there will serious losses.

On Oct 6 yin wood, the stock prices drops to 157.09 and then to 154.61 on Oct 9 si fire. The information in the above paragraph is confirmed and validated.

Oct 5 is Chou earth day (Thur): hollow - xu earth, hai water; after hr trading, stock drops a lot.
Oct 6 is Yin wood day (Fri).
Oct 7 is Mao wood day (Sat)
Oct 8 is Chen earth day (Sun)
Oct 9 is Si fire day (Mon)
Oct 10 is Wu fire day (Tues).

If there is two change lines 1 and 2, line 2 is used in the analysis.
11.2 [hidden- parent si fire]; +VE officer yin wood; change to 15.2 -VE parent wu fire (fling)

Parent = news announcement - si fire
Officer = the company or regulatory body - yin wood

After the market closed on October 5, Costco announced its fiscal 4Q17 results and September sales results. It posted revenues of $42.3 billion in 4Q17. The stock price drop immediately in the after hour trading.

Line 4
11.4 -VE Brother chou earth; 15.3 -VE Brother chou earth
Brother is the third party speculator who sell.
On Oct 5, it is chou earth day.
Brother line is the external door position at line 4.

Oct 6 is yin wood day, same as the line 2 officer (company). Officer changes to parent (news). News come out.
Oct 9 (Mon) is si fire. Since the hidden parent line (news is si fire), the news is now in the open.
[205] teaching comes into full effect with further price drop to $154.61.

Line 5
11.5 -VE Wealth hai water; 15.5 -VE Wealth hai water (host); Hai = movement star, luck star.
Wealth (money) hai water is day void for a few more days (see below):
Jia Zi (Oct 4), Yi Chou (Oct 5), Bing Yin (Oct 6), Ding Mao (Oct 7), Mou Chen (Oct 8), Ji Si (Oct 9), Geng Wu (Oct 10), Xin Wei (Oct 11), Ren Shen (Oct 12), Gui You (Oct 13)

By Xia Xu earth (Oct 14. Sat) and Yi Hai water (Oct 15 Sun), the hai water is no longer day void. Shen metal and you metal is day void effective Oct 14 for 10 days. Metal is child line (investor money). None is returning to the buying side soon.

Take home lesson: if one buys COST at 167 on Oct 5 2017 and will lose quite a bit of money $9.00 on the same day and up to $13 now. On an investment of $16700 USD for 100 shares, the loss is between $900 to $1300 over the Thanksgiving weekend in Canada.

This reading explains the usefulness of properly analyzing a hexagram when money is involved.

Further information
If the original hexagram 11.1.2 to Hex 15 is computed via Xiao Shing Iching
Financial wealth is in the house of 4 (sun wood - ying gua) and (zhen wood - yang gua) sits in this house giving hexagram 32. The chi are moving apart.
This means the wealth fortune is unstable, the flow of cash is changing hands fast, but there is no real gain. Or one is waiting for the opportunity to invest.

The future outcome is in the house of 5 (Hexagram 55 abundance). The Chi in hex 55 (upper trigram = zhen wood - yang gua; lower trigram = Li fire - yang gua) are both moving upwards. There is no harmony between yang and yang gua. Upper price movement is no longer supported by fundamentals. One may make a quick buck but the price will not last in the gain zone.

In conclusion, regardless of method, knowing the risk by prediction is the key to investment gain and preventing financial loss.

Hello long yi,

am I right that for the accuracy of the result of your prediction the excact date of the reading is crucial?
Like, if you receive Hex 11.1.2 to Hex 15 on October 10th 2017 the meaning will be another as if you received it on, let's say, November 10th 2017?

Best regards, black milk
