Finance: What is Dead Cat Bounce? 13 Views
Share It!
Description:
What is Dead Cat Bounce? Whenever a security goes into free fall decline, contrarians or those thinking that the drop indicates overselling may start to buy and give the security a minor interim rally before the next shoe drops and it plunges further. While this scenario can happen to any asset, the term `Dead Cat Bounce’ is usually ascribed to stocks and is based on the notion that even a dead cat will bounce up slightly if it falls fast and hard enough against the pavement.
