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 average correction, the market fully recovered its value within an average of 10 months, according to Azzad Asset Management. The average bear market lasts for 15 months, with stocks declining 32 percent. The most recent bear market lasted 17 months, from October 2007 to March 2009, and shaved 54 percent off of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
