Polar Bear Christmas Cards & the Bull Market

  

While the holidays are definitely a time of fun and family, they also represent a time when money is very much on our minds. Not only are most of us racking up significant credit card tabs by buying gifts, but the end of December also means tax time is right around the corner and another financial quarter is almost over for businesses.Polar Bear Christmas Cards

And that brings us to a point many of us had never thought about: the symbolism of the bear on your Christmas cards! Now while it may seem a little silly to sum, many investors take those concepts of the bull and bear market very seriously. Sending them a bear card could remind them to worry about a change in the market which could spell financial disaster for him or her.


Bear Market; Bull Market: Defined

For all of the readers who aren’t familiar with investment jargon, let’s spend a moment defining these two terms so you’ll understand why investors may not want a cute and cuddly bear on their Christmas cards this season.

A bull market is basically a great time to be an investor. People feel confident so they invest more and those increased investments mean bigger payouts which increases confidence and so on. Most financial analysts agree that the United States has been in a bull market since 1983 and that it was probably the strongest during the 1990s.

People fear losing more money so they begin selling off stocks which causes stock prices to drop which increases people’s fears and so on. Although the United States’ most recent bear market occurred between 1967 and 1983, the most famous was the Great Depression. Hopefully that explains why the bear may not be a beloved image for investors.


Polar Bear Cards for Non-Investors

If your Christmas card recipient list includes some investors, then steer clear of adorable bears on the cards you send them this year. Instead, opt for the Western Longhorn holiday cards. The image of the noble bull in the desert may give them renewed hope for the 2008 fiscal year.

For the rest of us, polar bears probably aren’t forecasters of financial doom, but they are cute to look at. If you agree, then a few great polar bear Christmas cards to check out, including Polar Bear and Cub, Polar Wish List, and Winter Friends. Looking at polar bears may even help you forget all of those credit card bills you’ll be getting in January.
