BLACK OR WHITE is the story of a grandfather (Academy AwardÂ® winner Kevin Costner) who is suddenly left to care for his beloved granddaughter.
Stock prices move in trends. When the trend is up, it's called bullish; when it is down, it's labeled bearish.. An uptrend is characterized by higher highs and higher lows; a down trend by lower highs and lower lows. A major market uptrend lasting three to four years is called a bull market, while a major down trend -- typically 12 to 24 months -- is called a bear market. Bullish and bearish can also refer to events, stock charts, opinions and people. Bullish and bearish can describe stock trends and other market aspects.
In the stock market, times of boom are called bull markets and times of bust are called bear markets. Between 1929 and 2009, there were 14 bear market cycles lasting between one and 10 years each. The average rate of return for stocks will depend greatly on when you buy and on the severity of any bear market cycles that occur following your purchase. Don't Forget Expenses You can invest in stocks individually or you can invest indirectly by buying a mutual fund.
