The Market Crash 2008
Events surrounding the subprime financial crisis that has caused two of Dow's two-day major accidents hit the fourth, fifth, and tenth crashes on a single night in Dow history, both of which occurred in 2008. It is difficult to say that the crisis is over, but it is helpful to compare it with other historical stock markets and economic problems: The Great Recession in 1929 (92% loss), the black Monday of 1987 (31%), the recession in 2000 (34%), and the Great Recession of 2007-08 (49% fall).

Brett TortorelloPublished 5 years ago in TraderWhat Is the Origin of Bull Market and Bear Market Terms?
With its global financial epicenter in New York City, the stock market has long been a source of curiosity for many Americans. With numerous popular films like Wall Street and The Wolf of Wall Street uncovering the unsavory side of investment, people are often skeptical of the financial industry. Though few truly understand the inner workings of the world economy, they are fascinated by the culture around it and are envious of those who thrive off of trading in the stock market. If you have an intermediate or advanced knowledge about the world of finance or investment, you have at very least probably heard the terms bull and bear markets. These terms are used to describe the performance of the stock exchange in terms of stock prices and subsequent investor confidence. There are few factors more important in the fluctuations of the market than the state of investor confidence. The state of the market hinges greatly on the confidence of the investor, meaning that high confidence is good for the market and low confidence is obviously bad. In fact, before the Great Depression, many of the large economic collapses in history were referred to as "panics," occurring every few decades, despite the general upward trend of the nineteenth century. The origin of bull market and bear market terms still stands today, though, as vocabulary has evolved to describe trends in the market, and are exceedingly important for anyone with a vetted interest in the stock market to know.
