Charging Bull

One of the more popular tourist attractions in the financial district of New York City is the life sized “Charging Bull” bronze statue located at the tip of Broadway at Bowling Green, across from the Battery Park northern entrance and in front of the Museum of the American Indian.

Weighing 3.5 tons, it was created by artist Arturo Di Modica in 1989. It has become synonymous with the Bull Market of Wall Street that drives the Dow Jones Average up higher...as well as the bull-hooey from Wall Street analysts who promoted the CMOs that caused the 2008 banking collapse.
