investor confidence, motivating investors to buy in antici-
pation of future price increases and future capital gains.
A bear market is a steady drop in the stock market over a
period of time.

There have been a number of famous stock market crashes like
the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the stock market crash of
1973–4, the Black Monday of 1987, the Dot-com bubble of 2000.

                             ***

In short selling, the trader borrows stock then sells it
on the market, hoping for the price to fall. The trader
eventually buys back the stock, making money if the price
fell in the meantime or losing money if it rose.
