"When stocks decline swiftly, and abruptly, they are being driven by fear. When they rise they are being driven by hope. If people are hoping a stock will rise they are slower to sell. If they fear the stock will decline, they are usually fast to dump that stock. That is why declines produce faster, more abrupt market action."
"FEAR lays ready to appear in a single heartbeat, and when it does, it twists and distorts reason. Reasonable people act unreasonably when they are afraid. And they get afraid every time they start to lose money. Their judgment becomes impaired."

Just imagine a tiger preying for a deer. It will slowly observe the deer's movement quietly waiting for a chance to attack.When the chance comes, it will run very quickly and jump to the deer and bite its neck. And yes the tiger got its bounty. Bear does not sneak up, it rolled down to the valley frightened by the tigers.

In the forests of the contiguous United States of America lurks a creature so foul, so deadly and so incapacitatingly repulsive that even bears live in fear of its presence. The Chupacabra, aka the Mexican Goat Sucker, is devastating American goat herds. Entering from points in Latin America and the Caribbean the dreaded claw-footed, bat-winged, spiky-spined Chupa is the vampire of the goat world. No doubt the grizzly, kodiak, black and even polar bear of Alaska are all quivering with fear of encountering this little bugger. It's quite likely that bears are walking on their tippy-toes throughout our nation. I suspect that the bear that you so fear is, in actuality, doing its utmost to avoid contact with the dreaded Chupa. Mark my words, the Chupacabra will decimate our goats if we don't develop the patriotic duty of eradicating this beast once and for all - even the bears...

Fear.
People take time to make buying decisions and spread out their purchases but when a panic hits everybody heads for the exits at the same time.

Probably for the same reason that bulls do. (Too bad we don't have psychic abilities)!

To catch their dumb prey.
