Bull and Bears in the stock market -  when it's Bull ๐Ÿ“ˆ it's all green for investors, but when Bears fight back, the RED charts dominate ๐Ÿ“‰.

What is the difference? ๐Ÿค”

When the stock market moves at an upward trend, this is referred to as the Bull market and when the market moves on a downward trend, itโ€™s a Bear market.

What can investors do to navigate these markets?

  • A saying successful investors use a lot when investing is, โ€œIt's not about timing the market but spending time in the marketโ€.

  • "Buying Fear and Selling Greed" - consistency is one of the fundamental principles that may continue to strive in helping many investors achieve their personal financial goals.

  • โ€œYou're only at a loss when you sellโ€- would you be willing to sell what you bought at a lower price? When markets are in turmoil, negative in a portfolio is only a loss when you sell at the present value. During uncertain times, review your portfolio and investing strategy for the long-term.
