Bull / Bear Market

In plain English

A bull market is prices broadly rising. A bear market is prices broadly falling.

Bull horns swing up, bear claws swipe down. That’s the whole memory trick.

Why it matters to you

Knowing it's normal for markets to do both keeps you from panic-selling at exactly the wrong moment.
