There are too many shady things going on in the industry, and the more bearish the market, the more problems arise. Actually, as a seasoned veteran with over a decade of experience, I'm usually not bothered by such things, but some things these days are truly outrageous, constantly pushing the boundaries of my understanding. Oh well, it's more comfortable to think of it as a form of spiritual practice: a bull market is a period for making money, a bear market is a period for weeding out the bad. From this perspective, a bear market isn't just about price pullbacks, but also about separating the genuine from the fake in the industry and the people and events around us.
