We disagree in the terminology. I use it in a logical smart way, you use it in an absolute way.
Yes, I use words in an absolute way. As in how they are actually defined.
Now, based on the definition of a bear, the only possible option is to short sale. since waiting for a drop, is technically a bull position as they are waiting for the stock to go up. Are we ok on that definition?
Nope.
Again,
If you believe the market is going down, you are a bear. Period. That's it. It has nothing to do with what you are waiting for.
Just what you believe will happen.What is so hard to understand about that?
Just a little more reading for you:
Another strategy is to wait on the sidelines until you feel that the bear market is nearing its end, only starting to buy in anticipation of a bull market. If a person is pessimistic, believing that stocks are going to drop, he or she is called a "bear" and said to have a "bearish outlook".
