In the simplest of terms, a bear market occurs when securities decline in price over a sustained period. By definition, a bear market is typically in place when prices fall by 20% or more from recent highs made during a bull market that precedes the bear. Bull and bear markets occur in all asset classes including stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate and alternatives (e.g. art and collectibles).
