Miller) Distribution: na Organization: Loral Instrumentation, San Diego Lines: 16 I'm very new to the investment world, and I keep hearing about the "Bulls" and the "Bears" in the stock market. To my knowledge, the Bulls are the ones that push stocks as investments, as in "buy" stocks, and the Bears like it when you sell your stock or when the market goes down. Now, who are these Bears ?. Why are they involved in the market if they thrive when it is down ?. Are these bears bond holders, market arbitragers, or people who sell short ?. I'd appreciate any clarifying remarks on this matter. BIG DAVE. -- David P.
