Analysis: China perma-bears scent downbeat economic data ahead
Reuters
BEIJING (Reuters) - China is set to deliver a rare treat to the perma-bears who growl constantly that the growth model that brought three decades of double-digit economic expansion is now broken - data showing that GDP fell below target between June ...

What is the definition of a "permabear"?

A permabear is somebody who is ALWAYS negative about the future direction of the markets and economy in general, no matter what.

There are two parts to this word that will help to let you know its meaning:

"perma" - permanent
"bear" - someone who believes in a falling stock market, or "bear" market

The opposite of a "permabear" is a "permabull". This is someone who has a rosy and optimistic view of the markets, no matter what transpires.

A permabear believes that there is always a monster lurking around the corner, waiting to take a bit out of the markets.

Permabears have had the attention of the investing public over the past two years, due to the implosion of equity markets worldwide.

Permabulls point out that the recession is nearly over, and economic growth is just around the corner.

Permabears point out that the US government is borrowing money at an alarming pace, printing dollars like crazy and diluting their currency at a rapid speed.

Permabears point out that economy-wrecking hyperinflation is just around the corner, due to the policies of the US government.

A permabear is permanently bearish on both the economy and equity markets.

Impostor syndrome: do you sometimes feel like a fraud?

Impostors' are highly talented people who believe their success is a mistake—that they don't deserve the honors. James Heskett argues these people have too much to contribute to ignore. But how do you find and hire them? What do YOU think? http://hbs.me/1THaEIz

This is a poll tax on wheels, to many, an unavoidable impost that must be paid at the same rate by rich and poor alike, even though rail transport is an indispensable public service. Small wonder that rail renationalisation is emerging as one of the most popular policies with voters."

Alongside Gordon Brown and Peter Mandelson, he was the driving force behind New Labour, the project to bring the party out of the electoral wilderness. He was an insurgent but he was also an imposter. As he confesses: “In order to circumvent the party, I had to construct an alliance between myself and the public.”
