“In a bear market, money returns to its rightful owners” (Wall Street proverb)

In a bear market (a recession or a depression), many investors lose money. A Wall Street proverb is: “In a bear market, money returns to its rightful owner(s).”
 
The adage is cited in print from at least 1994 and is of unknown origin.
