What IS a bull in the stock exchange?

A bull in the stock exchange refers to an investor who believes that the market or a specific stock will rise in value. This optimistic outlook often leads bulls to buy stocks with the expectation of selling them later at a higher price. The term "bull market" describes a prolonged period of rising stock prices, typically characterized by investor confidence and economic growth. Conversely, a "bear" represents pessimism and expectations of declining prices.
