Bull

  

See Bull Market.

Refers to an optimistic stock investor. The term is derived from how a bull attacks its prey, by charging and lifting its horns upward (i.e., a “bull market” is charging upward).

Toro and Osso were old friends, growing up in the same zoo. Sheeba, a trainer at the zoo, was so talented at her job that she even trained them on how the stock market works. Using their newfound knowledge, they set off to make millions on Wall Street, but with completely different strategies.

Toro, a bull, sought to invest in stocks that he believed would trade higher...while Osso, a bear, chose to short sell stocks he thought would decline.

They both made lots of money...while their friend, Wilbur the Pig, was tragically slaughtered.
