This quote humorously highlights the difference between bullish and bearish investors. Bulls, who have a positive outlook on the market, are seen as oblivious to the lessons of financial history.

The quote suggests that bears recognize the patterns and risks in financial markets, drawing on historical events like the Dutch tulip mania, Banque Royale collapse, railway speculation, and the 1929 crash as cautionary tales during times of market turmoil.
