Financial Crisis Timeline
Stock Market Crash Vs Bear Market
The distinction between the two is based on speed and length. Speed indicates how quickly the declines occur & length indicates how long they last.
Stock market crashes are quick and short, whereas bear markets are slow and prolonged. Those two do not always occur in the same decline.
