The only Bear reference worth noting is Bear Stearns as we come up on the anniversary of its collapse in 2018.
These were two headlines I found funny today:
"10 Years Ago Bear Stearns Collapsed; Larry Kudlow Was Its Chief Economist When I Joined"
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-15/blain-10-years-ago-bear-stearns-collapsed-larry-kudlow-was-its-chief-economist-when
and after reading the article I strongly disagree, the Chinese are much better off parking their money elsewhere, including European sovereign debt
and this headline:
Rollback of Dodd-Frank Provisions Clears Senate On 10-Year Anniversary Of Bear Stearns Collapse
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-15/rollback-dodd-frank-provisions-clears-senate-10-year-anniversary-bear-stearns
zerohedge puts it nicely:
"Recall that nearly 20 years ago Congress and Bill Clinton repealed Glass Steagall - which allowed banks to take on massive risks, shortly before Barney Frank pushed banks to extend subprime and "liar" loans to under-qualified applicants, which were then packaged into AAA paper and leveraged into oblivion.
And once again, history repeats itself..."
In any case, I know nothing about Kudlow because I don't watch NBCUniversal broadcasts.
