Here are all the stock market animals: Bear: Pessimist that thinks the market is in a general decline Bull: Optimist that thinks the market is in an upward trend Whale: Large investor using calculative strategy, risks large amounts of money Shark: High risk investor that will spend a lot of money hoping for a high return in a short amount of time Title: Re: The Bear, Bull, and Other Beasts.

Looks like traders who coined these terms belonged to PETA or some other animal rights group, it's cute to have these names. ;D Title: Re: The Bear, Bull, and Other Beasts.

average bull weight= 650 kilos It must be a baby bull lolol Title: Re: The Bear, Bull, and Other Beasts. Post by: bathwater on December 11, 2013, 10:17:50 PM average bear weight= 375 kilos average bull weight= 650 kilos It must be a baby bull lolol haha, yeah, baby bulls are more manageable. its funny because i thought the animals had to do with how they fought and how the market was reacting. bulls - they charge straight foward - so i thought that meant the market was expected to rise for the near future. bears - have you ever seen a bear fight, shit gets crazy (wild slashing) - so i thought that meant the market is like... "Caution: bear fighting... shit be crazy, yo!" Title: Re: The Bear, Bull, and Other Beasts. Post by: empoweoqwj on December 12, 2013, 01:08:31 AM average bear weight= 375 kilos average bull weight= 650 kilos It must be a baby bull lolol very much depends on what sort of bear it is, ever stuck a koala next to a grizzly? ;D Title: Re: The Bear, Bull, and Other Beasts.
