A bear always has to be very circumspect and can never appear too sure of himself when predicting a downturn lest he be labeled irresponsible, a naysayer, and siding with the ennemy. You have to say that you hope things don;t go south but, according to your analysis, you don’t see how the current situation can be sustained. That’s bear speak.
Bulls, on the other hand, are always free to predict that the sky’s the limit.
In life, there’s rarely a downside to being a bull, but bears will get attacked from every corner. I admire contrarians for this reason.
powayseller, is the only one who puts it bluntly. That’s why I love her. 🙂
