In this photo you see the New York
Stock Exchange Bull statue. Simply put,
the signifier is a really big bull, placed in the New York business district.
But more than that the bull is tense and looks mad and ready to strike. He has
his head lowered and seems to be ready to thrust his horns up and gore the
victim.
This artifact actually signifies
the stock exchange, and more specifically it signifies a good stock market with
the whole market going up, just like the motion the bull it about to make.
This is proven because, when stocks
are bad and going down, brokers call it a bear, while if they are good brokers call
it a bull. The bear strikes down when attacking and when stocks go down it is
bad like a bear attack. However, the bull moves upwards when attacking, and
those involved with the stock market want the stocks to move aggressively
upwards to success like a striking bull. Currently the stock market is on an upswing in
comparison to years of recession and a fall of prices, so the bull is there and
also attributes the to the recovery of the market and anticipation for things
to get better. Therefore the bull is
outside the stock exchange to promote all involved with the stock market’s
anticipation to have a strong market.
