Bear

A bear is an investor who believes that a security or the market as a whole will decline in the subsequent time. Bears are generally pessimistic about the market and sell securities in the expectation that prices are likely to fall.  One of the most common technique that the bear investor implement is short selling. Short selling technique involves buying low and selling high, but in reverse order, meaning selling first and buying later. This is made possible by borrowing shares from a broker to sell and later purchasing the same amount of shares from the market in order to return them back to the broker. As a result, the trader will be profiting from fall in the price of the shares.
