Bearish

His reputation for making the right calls over the years has enabled Odey to build his assets under management to around £4bn. In particular, he was bearish about the banks for several years before the credit crisis broke, and had been warning of the dangers of excessive debt and inflated house prices.
What does the "bearish" here mean? Does it mean "like a bear; rough, burly, or clumsy"?

No, it is an investment term: Describing a market for one or more securities in which there are few buyers and many sellers. A bearish market occurs due to declining prices, and it is sometimes associated with high trading volume. Investors may also describe having a bearish feeling about a market, meaning they believe (not necessarily with any analysis) that prices have been declining or soon will begin to do so.

Thank you, Mister Micawber and AG.
If an investor is bearish, does it mean that he is fearful of falling prices (as in a stock market)?

Thank you, Mister Micawber.
Would it be okay to say "He is bearish about a market" to mean "He has a bearish feeling about a market"?
