I sometimes get asked what the difference is between a bull market vs. bear market and in this video I’ll explain the difference through Rule #1 Investing terms. http://ow.ly/ScXbJ
Almost every day in the investing world, you will hear the terms “bull” and “bear” to describe current market conditions. As a Rule #1 Investor, we are really excited about buying when there is a lot of fear and selling when there is a lot of greed.
As common as these terms are, defining and understanding what they mean is not so simple. Because the direction of the stock market is a major force affecting your portfolio, it’s important you know exactly what the terms bull and bear market actually signify, how they are determined and how each market affects you.
So what is a bear market and what is a bull market? A bull and bear market are completely opposite things that occur in the stock market, but bulls and bears can be used to your advantage when following my Rule #1 Investing principles.
You should have an understanding of long-term market trends from a historical perspective. Because both bear and bull markets will have a large influence over your investments, do take the time to determine what the market is doing when you are making an investment decision.

For those who don’t know, a “bear” market, or when someone is being “bearish” in this context, is marked by investors being very conservative and pessimistic, resulting in a declining market generally marked by the mass selling off of stock. A “bull” market is simply the opposite of that, with investors being aggressive and positive, with stock prices rising as a result of this optimism. This “bull” and “bear” terminology first popped up in the 18th century in England.

Bulls:

Bears:
-The stock market is going down

-The term “bears” is used because of the way a bull attacks (on a downward pattern)
