'Bears' hug Kim Jong-un

Stock market's march was halted by Kim Jong-un's threats of launching nuclear strikes

On several occasions in the recent past, the stock market’s march was halted by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s threats of launching nuclear strikes against his enemies. That stance has made Kim quite popular with those in the “bear” camp. A joke popular among them goes like this: Bulls: Aaj mere paas trend hai, breakouts hai, money flow hai; tumhare paas kya hai? Bears: Mere paas Kim hai. The Sensex fell nearly 150 points on Wednesday due to lingering concerns over North Korea’s nuclear programme.
