Alright, a bear market is a market that's going down, and bull markets are going up.  Bear markets usually happen because of some kind of negative news about the economy, or another type of unexpected event.  Meanwhile, bull markets tend to happen because of strong or rising news about the economy, or some sort of unexpected event that's good for investors.

I see. So it would be smartest to invest money in a bear market since things would be cheaper then?
