Dealing With 'Professional Bears'

- Simon Brown

I last weekend I met a professional bear. No, not a bear like you’d find in a zoo, circus or out in the wild – I mean a market bear; somebody who thinks the market is just one moment away from a complete collapse that will result in the end of financial markets. Most specifically, this is someone who has been thinking and talking about this for close on 15 years, hence the “professional” part.
