Bull  markets are characterized by optimism, investor confidence and expectations that strong results will continue.\n\nA bear market is where the market condition in which the prices of securities are falling or are expected to fall. Although figures can vary, a downturn of 15-20% or more in multiple indexes (Dow or S&P 500) is considered an entry into a bear market.\n\nThe use of  "bull" and "bear" to describe markets comes from the way in which each animal attacks its opponents. That is, a bull thrusts its horns up into the air, and a bear swipes its paws down. These actions are metaphors for the movement of a market: if the trend is up, it is considered a bull market. And if the trend is down, it is considered a bear market.

i think you're referring to the price/earning ratio, a tool used by investors to evaluate the value of a stock.  Here's a link to Investopedia that better explains it:

According to CAPM,\n\nE[Re] = Rf + b(E[Rm]-Rf)\n\nwhere:\n\nE[Re] = expected return on the security\nRf = return of the risk free security\nE[Rm] = expected return of the market portfolio\nb = beta of the security\n\nThe expected return of an asset is equal to the mean of the distribution of returns\n\nBeta is equal to the covariance of excess returns of the asset with excess returns of the market divided by the variance of the excess returns of the market.\n\nThe excess return of an asset is equal to the return minus the return of the risk free asset.

A bull run on the stock exchange is a time when the investors create a situation that they buy shares at lower price and the buying activity is more than the selling side. In such case the prices will go on and then a reasonable rise in price means a good return for the investor. Such upswing is the Bull Market..... the Bull uses his horn to rise the stock index.\n\nOn the other hand there might be heavy selling and out pass the buying. Higher no of sellers will mean a competition to sell shares. So with more stocks available to buy the buyer will want a still lesser price. So the prices will keep falling and finally a time will come where is little to sell. At such lower prices investors may buy because that is the lowest price at which they can buy. Thus it is like a bear hugging the prey when it is on free fall. Thus the Bear run...\n\nLong story short.... Bulls.... upswing...... Bears.... downwards..\n\nHappy enjoying the bourse

For most stocks the big bull market ended in 2001. They have pretty much gone nowhere since that time.\n\nToday's bull market is in companies that produce commodities such as oil, natural gas, base metals, and precious metals. This bull market has a long way to go, so don't be put off by the fact that these stocks have been going down for a couple of weeks. They may have farther to fall, but they will likely start coming back up between now and the end of the year.\n\nSome mutual funds are set up for specific sectors such as mining or energy. If you need current income, check the prospectus (the document they always send you before you invest) or call the company to see what their payout rate is.\n\nA good plan is to invest slowly over time. If you buy now and it goes up, that's great. If it goes down, you can buy more at a lower price. Either way you win.\n\nBest of success to you.

Amazon posted a huge gain one quarter and their stocks took a dive.\n\nMutual funds, hedge funds and inside holders (like the CEO and the board) hold the majority of any stock.  Mutual and hedge funds have their own formulas on what they expect from a company.  That projection is built into the price (aka they buy or sell till the majority feel that it's the price it should be).  Those projections are also called estimates, so when the news talks about beating, matching or falling short of estimates, you know what the news means.\n\nVolume is the other factor.  On low volume days or low volume stocks, there are fewer people deciding if a stock goes up or down.  You shouldn't be concerned with a stock that goes up on high volume and down on low volumes.  That means that vast majority of holders think the stock is going up.  If the volume is high and the stocks are going down, chances the majority of holders are bailing or cashing in.

In financial markets, stock is the capital raised by a corporation through the issuance and distribution of shares.\n\nA person or organization which holds share of stocks is called a shareholder. The aggregate value of a corporation's issued shares is its market capitalization\n\nIn finance a share is a unit of account for various financial instruments including stocks, mutual funds, limited partnerships, and REIT's. In British English, the usage of the word share alone to refer solely to stocks is so common that it almost replaces the word stock itself.\n\nA share is one of a finite number of equal portions in the capital of a company, entitling the owner to a proportion of distributed, non-reinvested profits known as dividends and to a portion of the value of the company in case of liquidation. Shares can be voting or non-voting, meaning they either do or do not carry the right to vote on the board of directors and corporate policy. Whether this right exists often affects the value of the share.

Whatever it says it means! (LOL) Read the axes of the graph. It could be price against time, maybe?

Beta is the measurement of portfolio risk/return related to the market risk/return.  A portfolio with a beta of 1.0 is going to have the same risk and return as the market.  A portfolio with a beta above 1.0 has a higher risk and higher return than the market.  A stock with a beta below 1.0 has a lower risk and lower return than the market.\n\nIf your portfolio has a beta of 1.5 and the stock market increases 1%, your portfolio will increase 1.5%.  The inverse is also true.\n\nDuring times when you expect the market to grow, you want stocks with high beta value (over 1.0.)  During a recession, or slow-down, you want low beta (below 1.0.)

Other, I used the prices and volumes to guide me when to sell or exit.  For instant, If my stock going up, have a long run, one day the price is decline like 5 percent, the volume is double or higher from the last session. That is a yellow flag for me, and I have to a decision quickly before it decline further.  I usually sell it with no hestitate when that happen.

The number of stocks that have gained value that day are called 'advances' and the ones that have lost value are called 'declines'. Advances-declines is a ratio that gives an indication of whether the market was bullish (if ratio over 1.0) or bearish.
