Bulls, Bears, and Panthers

Is 'bear market' the right name for this? Bears aren't so fast. I'd call it a panther market--you don't even have time to be scared.

Not much else to say about the Bear Stearns bailout that you won't read on a thousand other blogs. I'll just offer some boilerplate I found in my broker's prospectus.
