Is a bear market good or bad?

Questions of good or bad as relates to economic markets are not easy to answer. Moral rulers do not work well in matters of buying and selling. What is good for bulls is not good for bears, what is good for bears is not good for bulls.

A two month price decline (bear market) typically leads to heavy buying. While many speculators will lose their shirt, so to speak, others will make a fortune. What follows a decline, is usually a rapid rise, or a bull market.

The Stock Market is always in flux, either rising or declining, either bullish or bearish. It is the natural contrast of the market, and one cannot exist without the other.
