Bull and Bear markets don't talk about the sale of animals but the status of a country's economy. A country with a bull market means they're very much bursting at the seams with good employment rates, their currencies are very strong and foreign investments just keep on pouring in.

The Bear market is it's opposite. You see, the perfect example is what the global environment is at now - a plethora of unemployment, currencies seem to be falling down like shooting stars and foreign investments are quite shy and minimal. Just like what is happening to the United States of America as well as other countries. They are under recession and well, sometimes, this is the best time to buy or trade since shares of stocks are going down.

Best learn the fundamentals before you go to online trading. Since you are indeed a beginner, you may find it so appealing and you just can't wait to load your wallet with enormous sums of money. Take time to find your way and surely, your wallet will rejoice from the loads of Benjamins instead of those Lincolns.

On your spare time, read reviews that are made available in the internet. There you can also gain some insights from various newcomer and seasoned trade investors as well. They're not that selfish in sharing some notes since once you consider them your mentors, they will feel elated all the more as a source of inspiration.
