    Hi fellow traders/investors, I've been studying some courses on trading. Specifically I'm studying The Chart Guys course on entry and exit points.

    They cover "bearish entries" and I don't know what a "bearish entry" is defined as?

    Is a bearish entry a point where you're attempting to sell a stock? If so, shouldn't it be called a bearish exit instead of an "entry"?

    Welcome, clockw0rk.

    I'm choking on the term "bearish entry". I would translate that to, "A price that would entice you to buy a stock you don't like and are pessimistic regarding it's future."

    Bear = grumpy, pessimistic, negative

    Why someone would buy a stock they are grumpy about, at any price, is beyond me.

    Maybe "bearish entry" is in relation to shorting a stock? Entering a trade with a negative outlook (thinking the stock price will go down).

    Yes. I think so.

    I hang out with value traders and they talk about value low and bear low. I extended that idea but it makes more sense on the short side.

    ... and, for the life of me, I have no idea why someone would buy a company they don't like, just because it's really cheap.
