A Bull market signifies a Stock Market situation where investors are beaming with confidence and the price of stocks and the market index is going up consistently. Such a solid rise in market indices is compared to the uncontrolled running of a raging bull and hence the term BULL market.

A Bear market signifies a stock market situation where investors are very cautious and are not willing to buy new shares and are considering liquidating their holdings. The market is either flat or going down consistently. Such a situation is compared to the grip or hug of a bear which is considered very difficult to break and hence the term BEAR market.

What is the difference between Bear market and Bull market?

A bull phase refers to a economic scenario with booming investor confidence and surplus liquidity as a result of which everyone is buying shares and the prices of stocks are going up. It is termed as a bull phase because there is control/limit on the amount to which the prices go up. It is uncontrollable like the run of a raging bull. A bear phase refers to a economic scenario with diminishing investor confidence and lack of liquidity as a result of which everyone is selling their stocks. the prices of stocks come down crashing.


If a puma and grizzly bear fought who would win?

It depends on the scenario and the incident of the fight. A grizzly bear has sharp enough claws to pierce into the bull's head and swat that thing to death. If the bull charges and gores the grizzly bear with those horns, it would win the fight against the grizzly bear.Answer 2:A grizzly would not dare take on a big bull in a natural environment. And a bull, like all prey animals, would rather run the other way than take on a great bear like a grizzly. But if a fight should occur, a bull, if he has horns, would gore the bear in the ribs, or if he's not horned, would crush the bear's ribs with his head to the point that the bear may die soon after. The bear will try to claw at the bull with his long claws and bite at the throat, but the dewlap on the bull, not to mention the bull's thick, muscular neck, would protect him from serious injury. Thus, a bull would win.

Who wins in a fight between grizzly bear and an elephant?

A grizzly bear wouldn't dare mess with a bison bull or cow. When on the attack, a charging bison can and will gore a bear with its horns, not to mention crush the bear's ribs with his head. A bear can try to get at the neck, but all that thick fur will be in the way, and will come away with more injuries than he intended. A grizzly will steal and kill a bison calf, but only if the calf ventures far from his mother and from the safety of the herd.
