. My point is, IMHO, is that during a bull market run, many
"traders" consider themselves such because they simply buy "something" and watch
it go up (which happens in a bull market).

Good point.They also learn bad habits in a bull.Daytraders make 1/4's and 1/2's until a position goes against them and they freeze.Soon they have a 5 or ten point loss which in a strong bull comes back.The lesson they learn is "never take a small loss".The first bear market and the loss never comes back.No more daytrader.
