Bulls versus Bears

Sometimes with the fluctuations in markets around the globe, it’s hard to pinpoint whether what’s experienced would be defined as a bull market or a bear market or somewhere in between. This well invariably be a much-discussed topic at the MoneyShow Conference. The bull/bear ratio, or bull/bear spread as its sometimes called, is an indication of the overall attitude of investors. This is published on a weekly basis by the financial data firm investors intelligence and is an aggregate of surveying of professional financial advisors. Put another way, rising prices are an indication of a bullish market whereas falling prices are in indication of a bearish market sentiment. To liken it to the world of real estate, it is similar but not an exact replica of to a sellers’ market and a buyers’ market, respectively.
