Bear or Bull Market

Being in a bear market is never fun!

This is a term used when the stock market drops by more than 20% for an extended period of time.

Stock market declines happen when the world is fearful, things like wars, elections or recessions can create fear and cause markets to drop. Even if you are holding stock of good quality companies, they can get caught up in fear causing their price to drop.

If you have a long-time horizon for your investments it could represent a great time to buy, if you have the stomach for it.

Opposite of a bear market, a bull market is when stock markets are up over 20% for a prolonged period of time. This is a time when those good quality stocks you bought during a bear market have increased dramatically in value. Much more fun than a bear market, bull markets are typically when investors feel “richer than they think."
