Understanding Bull And Bear Market Situations

Summary: This section of the site discusses what are, and how should an investor behave, in both bull and bear markets. Useful information relating to bear markets is not easy to find and we hope to begin your education about this frightening market and point you in the direction of important further reading.

Understanding some of the basic facts about bull and bear market behaviour and charachteristics is sound advice that any newcomer should follow.

Clearly, the movements and underlying economics of each type of market is very different from each other and is discussed in this section of the site.

For many investors, especially relatively new ones, the current market situation - no matter what it may be - can appear to be the way that stock markets have always been. However, this isn't the case. Over the years - and the US market has been in existence in one form or another for over 100 of them - there have been some violent movements in price and prolonged periods of both prosperity and despair.

It should be noted that in trying to analyse both bull and bear market features, no two have been the same. They almost certainly last for differing periods of time, are caused by different things, require different investment strategies and can create and destroy wealth in different ways.

In other words, understanding how either a bull or a bear market might work and move is very important.

Unfortunately, here at StockExchangeSecrets.com we do not have a crystal ball that will perfectly define or predict coming rises or falls in markets. Instead, we shall try and provide a brief but useful overview of these important terms and conditions.
