Definition: A bear market is a market in which stocks are currently falling in value. It's argued exactly how much a market has to fall in order to be considered a bear market, but 10% is typically seen as a good figure. It got its name because a bear throws its paws down when it attacks.
TeenAnalyst Advice: We don't really have any advice for bear markets. Other than that history has proven that in the long-term, markets rebound and you can expect a positive return if you stick with a long-term approach. So rather than panicking and selling all your stocks when a bear market starts, ride it out. |
