make a bottom


Explanation:
Quote from email from InvestmentU

Despite the sharp rally in bank stocks lately, this is not how a bear market in financial shares generally ends. History shows that bank stocks tend to make a long, shallow bottom. Their suffering extends for months.

The following link defines trough.

http://www.amosweb.com/cgi-bin/awb_nav.pl?s=wpd&c=dsp&k=trou...

The link Ingeborg pasted defines Bodenbildung.

They are not the same thing, at least not according to their definitions.

I do not know the term for Bodenbildung though. But I do know that it is the stabilization of a trough.
