    Bear is also a term used for “a husky and hairy man”, or the opposite of a twink.

    But the joke doesn’t really work: just because the value of one commodity goes down (twinks in this case), it doesn’t mean the market is bear (in economic terms), but it may mean that the value of bears (in sex preference terms) is going up.

      That one I got, but thanks nonetheless. There are probably other out there wondering what bears & twinks are.
