Over 36 cases of insider trading have been prosecuted in 2020-21, indicating that the stock market is both established and developing. The terms "bull" and "bear" markets are two of the most basic ideas in stock market trading. The term "bull market" refers to a stock market in which stock prices are steadily rising. Because the bulk of stock investors are buyers rather than short-sellers, this is the type of market in which most investors thrive. When stock prices are falling in general, it is called a bear market. Short selling allows investors to earn even in bad markets. Short selling is the practice of borrowing stock from a brokerage firm that owns shares of the stock that the investor does not own. After then, the investor sells the borrowed stock shares on the secondary market and receives the proceeds. If the stock price falls as the investor expects, the investor can benefit by purchasing enough shares to repay the broker for the number of shares they borrowed at a total price less than what they earned for selling the stock at a higher price earlier. Analysts and investors may consider a number of criteria when predicting a stock's likely price movement in the future.
