====================================
Bear Raid Definition
A bear raid occurs when a group of traders manipulate a security's price in order to drive down the value of the stock. The goal of a bear raid is to push the security lower as quickly as possible in order to create fear in the market. This fear creates panic selling which can be used to make quick gains in short positions.

Signs of a Bear Raid
A bear raid is a tough operation to pull off. For starters, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) closely monitors suspicious trading activity on the exchanges. So, in order to execute a successful bear raid it takes more than one powerful trader. Below are some key things to look for in a bear raid:

1.Enourmous amounts of unsubstantiaed negative news flooding message boards, blogs, and the news media
2.Large short sell orders continusoulsy flooding the market
This one two punch will go on until the price begins to break. Once the market manipulators realize that the price has been driven to an extreme, they will take a long position in anticipation of the market recovering. The end result is that the manipulators are able to beneift from both the bear raid down and the subsequent rally back to the true market value of the security.
