My this post is basically
for those who don’t spend a lot of time on terminal or don’t have a lot of knowledge
of stock market. We all know that each and every day stock market fluctuate by
ups or down the ups and down called in stock market bear and bulls. Bulls and
bears refer to opposite trends in the stock market. According to stock market terminology a bull market is “ a prolonged
period in which investment prices rise faster than their historical average. And
other hand bear market means “a prolonged period in which investment prices
fall, accompanied by widspred pessimism. So, in simple words bulls are good and
bears are bad for a investor.
Interestingly no one’s
quite sure how the two animals came symbolize the market, but there are a few
theories around. According to Motley Fool, a bear market earned its name
because bears tend to swat at things with their paws in a downward motion (as
in "the market's going down"). A bull market, on the other hand, got
its name because bulls swing their horns upward when they strike (as in
"the market's going up").
So a "bearish"
investor thinks the market will go down, while a "bullish" investor
thinks it's headed up.
Another theory proposes
that the animals' personalities are behind the symbolism. Bears move with
caution, while bulls are bold and like to charge ahead.
Quite frequently no one can argue that both animals are
intimidating and best avoided. Maybe they're meant to serve as a warning to
investors: Unless you know what you're doing, you could be headed for pain.
