Risk Warning
Market Mentalities: The Bulls vs the Bears
There are two main ways to speculate upon price in financial markets when trading
Bulls vs Bears
We can be bullish – this means that we are speculating on a rise in price
Or we can be bearish – this means we are speculating on a fall in price
Which way we speculate upon depends upon us and our own strategy
Market Mentalities explained
Bulls and Bears – which is better?
Over recent times we have witnessed many major asset classes like Oil, Eur and Natural Gas fall significantly
We would have to be honest in admitting our own inadequacy if we were to declare that we ‘prefer’ to only trade bullish markets
The key in this regard is to actually have a strategy that can essentially capitalise both moves – rising and falling prices or a bullish or bearish movement, respectively
Bulls vs Bears
Market Mentalities explained
The Conclusion…
Bullish or Bearish, it ultimately doesn’t matter at the end of the day
We are only concerned in capturing large movements, regardless of those movements being rises or falls
We feel it would be slightly limiting to think that we should only have one method and that the honest observer of financial would see this too!
Bulls vs Bears
All in all it is the most realistic strategy that captures both movements, and only relying on the facts for choosing when to capture and enter these movements!
