The Wall Street Bull is 11 feet tall 16 feet long and over
7000 pounds. The massive bronze bull has sharp horns, is in motion, and appears
ready to charge. It is strong, and powerful.
The Wall Street bull is a beautiful work of art done by
Arturo Di Motica and is a symbol of the stock market. It is a phenomenal
representation of a bull market. A bull market is a market whose share prices
are rising, and who future appears prosperous.
1. The signifier is the physical bull.
2. The bull signifies The stock market or the bull market.
3. The strength and size of the bull represents the power
and strength the stock market has in the economy and in our lives. The fact
that the bull is energetic and in motion symbolizes the constant movement of
the stock market. It is unpredictable as to where the bull is going or what it
is going to do; this unpredictability is a representation of the ups and downs
of the stock market prices and its unpredictable nature. The bulls horns are
sharp and ready to gored, just like the stock market is ready to gored whoever
is too risky in the stock market.
It is interesting to think that the bull could symbolize
different things at different times depending on how the market is doing as a
whole. In times of prosperity it is easy to assume that the bull represents a
bull market that is positive and shows a prosperous future; although, during
times of famine the bull could symbolize something that is more dangerous,
unpredictable, and to be respected more than to be tampered with.
