Bull and Bear Markets

          Have you ever wondered why the words bull and bear are used to describe the stock market when it goes up and down?

          Simple put, in today investing language, a bull is someone who is optimistic about the stock market and thinks that stock prices will rise. A bear is a pessimist who thinks that stock prices will fall. Similarly, a bull market is a rising or growing market, while a bear market is one in which stock prices are falling.

          The origin of these words are unclear, used to describe the up and down movement of the stock market because of the movements of these animals; a bull, for example, sweeps its horns up when it attacks, while a bear sweeps its paws down when it fights.

          Although the origins of these words are uncertain, one thing is certain these day: most investors prefer a bull market to a bear market.

       What do you like a bull or a bear? 

       You know the stock market goes up and down, but historically it always bounces back. And you have to remember that past returns do not guarantee future success. If you are an aggressive investor,so you will to take some risk, too.
